6070 ELT 132 Teaching and Assessment of Literature Studies

This course allows pre-service English teachers to explore the nature of literature and the theoretical bases, principles, and methods and strategies in teaching and assessing literature. It aims to provide them with various strategies for pre-lesson, during lesson, and post-lesson which will develop their learners’ higher order thinking skills in the use of the English language and will respond to their various backgrounds. Also, they are expected to design developmentally-sequenced lesson plans and provide a range of assessment strategies to communicate learners’ needs, progress and achievement in literature.
