The two weeks’ course I attended to in Norwich (England) started on the 6th of July, 2015 and lasted to the 17th of July, 2015. It was a very positive and profitable experience. I could get and share very interesting and innovative methodologies and learnt to create, adapt and assess different kinds of materials for language teaching.
The two weeks’ course I attended to in Norwich (England) started on the 6th of July, 2015 and lasted to the 17th of July, 2015. It was a very positive and profitable experience. I could get and share very interesting and innovative methodologies and learnt to create, adapt and assess different kinds of materials for language teaching.
This module has enabled me to make my own
contribution to the field of materials development by developing my critical
awareness of language acquisition and pedagogy at a theoretical and practical
level and the criteria for evaluation and adaptation of language learning
materials. I could investigate different aspects of materials development and
work both independently and in a team to produce a variety of language learning
materials, justifying their principles, objectives and procedures.
This course
has covered the following aspects:
- Second language acquisition
- Language teaching pedagogy
- Needs analysis
- Materials evaluation
- Materials adaptation
- Materials editing
- Materials design
- Materials writing
This course
has extended my understanding and critical awareness of:
- The theories of language
acquisition and language pedagogy which are potentially applicable to
materials development
- How to develop and apply
principled criteria for the evaluation and adaptation of language learning
materials
- The different aspects of
materials development (e.g. text selection and exploitation; the writing
of instructions; the use of illustrations; the design and layout of a unit
etc)
- How to work both independently
and in a team to produce a variety of different types of effective
language learning materials
- How to justify the principles,
objectives and procedures of materials which we produce
- How to make my own contribution
to the field of materials development
