This module is a follow-up to the module of "Teaching English in Global Context 1". It will provide learners with a critical introduction into current approaches to TESOL & second language teaching in the context of current understandings of second language acquisition. Specifically, it focuses on critical issues surrounding the teaching of English as an international language (EIL).

This module is an introduction to current approaches to TESOL & second language teaching in the context of current understandings of second language acquisition. Specifically, it focuses on the theories and practice of task-based language teaching (TBLT), a recently reformulated framework of communicative language teaching (CLT) in relation to previous second language teaching approaches.

The module focuses on English language teaching materials and lesson design, Frameworks for the development of materials design and recommendations for classroom teaching are informed by current practice and research.

The module focuses mainly on the historical approaches to English Language Teaching, as well as a critique of their accompanying techniques.

This module introduces you to a range of theories that explain second language acquisition, and provide you with opportunities to examine and evaluate those theories.

This module is a critical examination of problems, issues, arguments and discussions in Language Learning and Teaching in the context of both the classroom and the wider world, such as the role of the native speaker, linguistic imperialism and other topics from critical applied linguistics. 

The overall aim of the module is to expand students’ awareness and understanding of language education, and especially to develop their ability to think critically about the purposes and appropriate practices of teaching English in different international settings.

This module is designed to raise awareness about language and social justice, drawing on a range of educational, professional, and national policies. It critically engages with the role of language in creating social inequalities and in creating privileges and disadvantages for language users.

This module examines theoretical issues in Second Language (L2) Teaching. Specifically, second language teaching methodologies such as Grammar Translation, Audio-Lingual Method, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and other methodologies (eg focus on form and focus on forms) will be critically discussed from a number of perspectives (eg second language acquisition perspective and pedagogical perspective). The module will include structured input and activities designed to develop the ability to think critically about current L2 teaching approaches.
