The aim of the course is to get students acquainted with the principles of assessment and testing, including test preparation and their use in teaching. Focus is put on the preparation of teaching materials and their adaptation, arousing and maintaining pupils' motivation and on developing pupils' autonomy, i.e. learners' autonomy. Students will get further information about the development of learning theories and teaching methods and approaches and will work further with their cultural awareness.
The gradual development of teaching skills in courses DI1NM to DI4NM leads to the competence to teach English at the lower secondary level or the secondary level. |
