Students work through weekly units and assignments online.
This course is taught entirely through the Internet. Students will investigate using literature as language material, as course content, and as a vehicle for self-enrichment. We will discuss techniques and procedures for helping students to improve their English language proficiency and to better understand culture through the medium of literature. Topics for the course will include the selection of materials for various age and proficiency levels, appropriate tasks and exercises for oral and written language development, and assessment procedures. Classes will include group work, chats, threaded discussion, and project work.
