Outline and objectives

The course is for students wanting to explore effective language teaching and learning both face-to-face and online, targeting various types of second language (L2) learners inside and outside the school language classroom. It focuses on core issues affecting L2 education, such as L2 motivational strategies for successful achievement in learning L2s within the context of second language acquisition (SLA). Its purpose is to give an insight into the educational and second language learning (SLL) theory: issues on L2 learners, teaching methods and approaches, teaching materials, lesson planning for educators, and educational specific skills for explaining how to elicit and maintain L2 learners' motivation, etc. It also provides opportunities for developing practical techniques that motivate L2 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 own career paths in the related educational fields within the global context.

Goal

The course provides opportunities to:
1. Learn challenging issues of language teaching and learning within various contexts of L2 education.
2. Acquire theoretical knowledge of motivational strategies in L2 education.
3. Examine how L2 education is implemented effectively with the expertise of SLA.
4. Discuss how the L2 motivational strategies are connected to theoretical aspects of SLL.
5. Practice basic ideas for effective L2 teaching within the global context.
