Outline and objectives

The course is for students wanting to explore effective teaching and learning within the context of the second language (L2) education. It focuses on issues affecting L2 education, especially in the language classroom, such as L2 motivation and different motivational strategies for fulfilling successful achievement in learning L2s. Its purpose is to give an insight into the educational theory, teaching methods and approaches, teaching materials, lesson planning for educators, and educational specific skills for explaining how to elicit and maintain L2 learners' motivation. It also provides opportunities for developing practical techniques that motivate language learners, and examining, reflecting on and discussing significant aspects of successful language teaching and learning. It encourages the students to consider how they can contribute to learner achievement and to establish their career paths in the related educational fields within the global context.
