Overview

Teaching practicum is an integral component of teacher education. This course provides the final year students with opportunities to make class observations and to practice teaching English as a Foreign Language in a real-life classroom. It is expected that student teachers are able to integrate theory and practice of teaching and learning English as a Foreign Language and their links. Through supervised teaching practice, student teachers will gain insight into the classroom teaching and learning, develop a range of teaching skills and understandings necessary to design lesson plans, conduct micro-teaching, actually deliver lessons as well as successful classroom management. Student teachers also have further ESP teaching practice.
