Teaching of Speaking and Listening

The general purpose of this course is to look at various ways to teach listening and speaking.  The course will begin by examining theories and concepts in speaking and listening in the language classroom. Students will use this theoretical basis to design activities and assessments in an ESL class and take a unit/chapter from a National Curriculum English textbook to create a unit plan for listening and speaking.  Finally, students will create a detailed lesson plan for either teaching listening, speaking, or task-based lesson and then teach that lesson to their peers.
