| Purpose: This module is intended to equip qualifying graduates with the knowledge, skills and techniques of how to teach First Additional Language to a Foundation Phase class. Qualifying graduates should be able to promote listening, speaking, reading and writing skills by using appropriate methodologies, designing activities and choosing resources to suit the purpose. Qualifying graduates should be conscious of the fact that English First Additional Language in African LoLT contexts will be used as LoLT in Grade 4 and onwards. The teaching of reading will be highlighted and emphasized so that learners are ready to learn in English. Differentiated teaching and learning should underpin how language is facilitated in the classroom. Qualifying graduates will be expected to complete assignments and projects by reflecting on the content of the module and its suitability towards diverse learner population during their teaching practice. This is done in order to give them an opportunity to practice the teaching of language skills in the classroom and address the needs of the learners. |
