Description

You will be introduced to contemporary debates in English language education both in Australia and internationally, and will examine these from a range of perspectives. Issues you will discuss will include language teacher identities in native and non-native language settings; a critical analysis of various language teaching methodologies in changing local and global contexts; and the politics and pedagogical implications of English as a lingua franca. You will learn about key pedagogical issues by drawing on the latest research findings.
