A233 SGDB6013 KUMP A ELT PROFESSIONAL CONCERNS SEMINAR
This seminar will discuss important areas related to the English Language Teaching (ELT) practitioner such as teacher training, types of systems of schooling (private vs. public), management of ELT, status of English, status of teachers, and native versus non-native teachers of English. The main aim of this student-led seminar will be to allow students to reflect on their professional experiences in general and on one aspect of their experience in depth. Students will decide on topics of relevance to them with the view of the audience, which is the MEd ELT group as a whole. Initially, students will be encouraged to form small groups and explain certain aspects of their teaching/professional contexts to each other, guided by staff. For the main part of the course, students will form loose groups working on similar issues and a timetable of presentations (conference style, controlled timing) to the whole group will be drawn up. This seminar will be a venue for students to discuss issues which are of importance to them and the ELT profession.
