These lectures are designed for post 16 students and will last 1 hour. Where applicable, each session has been aligned with content delivered on the A Level syllabus but is designed to give students an idea of how the subject would be taught at the university level.
Typical lecture content could include:
1.How would you teach English to speakers of other languages?
English is the most popular language to learn as a second language, and people around the world (and in the UK) want to learn it. So, how do we teach people to speak English in English? In this session you will learn some of the tools that English Language Teachers use to teach the English language...and learn some Mandarin too.
2. How do we teach primary school children to read?
Children who read are more likely to have well-developed vocabularies and go on to have more success in school in subjects including English. How, then, do we teach children to read? And how can we encourage them to read more? In this session you will find out some tips, tools, and the research on developing children's reading. You will also learn to describe English phonology with the IPA and how it is used in the phonics system of teaching reading in primary schools around the country.
