Outline and objectives

This course is designed for students interested in exploring second language (L2) education from a global perspective. It delves into both the theoretical and practical aspects of second language learning (SLL) and L2 teacher education. The course investigates effective strategies for teaching and learning languages applicable to both in-person and online environments. It caters to a diverse range of L2 learners within and outside traditional classroom settings. A key focus of the course is on the core issues impacting L2 education, such as exploring L2 motivational issues that foster successful L2 learning within the framework of second language learning (SLL). Students are expected to develop, discuss and examine approaches to put theories into practice in dealing with various L2 learning situations. This course also addresses educational inequality through language education on a global scale. Students are encouraged to consider their potential contributions to L2 learner achievement and to carve out their career paths in related educational fields within a global context.

Goal

The course provides opportunities to:
1. Learn challenging global issues of L2 education.
2. Examine how L2 education is implemented effectively with the expertise of SLL.
3. Acquire theoretical knowledge of L2 motivation in L2 education.
4. Discuss the connection between theoretical aspects of SLL and various L2 education pedagogy.
5. Practice basic ideas for effective L2 education within the global context.
