This course deals with review of contemporary research and approaches applied to material development and instructional design for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. The content of the course will be presented through various ways: presentations given by the instructor, in-class and online discussions, student presentations, and individual and group assignments. These methods will stimulate students to think about issues discussed in the research and also develop materials and instruction for teaching EFL. Lesson plans and instructional materials produced for the in-class presentations will be uploaded into the online environment for others to access. In addition to the textbooks, we will also use some online resources and web-board discussions as learning materials. We will also be going to Guo-Tai Elementary School near FJCU for service learning purposes.
