Students will also learn basic mathematics and statistical techniques needed to understand how artificial intelligence for language learning works.

3. [Teaching Young Learners]

Regularly described as both rewarding and challenging, teaching languages to young learners requires a set of skills most people simply do not have. Young learners are still developing socially, emotionally, and cognitively, and may not have chosen to be in the language classroom but they very often bring tremendous energy, goodwill, and curiosity to their studies. This course aims to support teachers as they harness that positivity and channel youthful energies into the acquisition of English as an additional language. This practical course will provide both new and experienced teachers with opportunities to manifest teaching theory in classroom practice, and refresh established routines with new techniques.

4. [Practical Teaching Methodology]

2. [Teaching Listening & Speaking]

This course aims to develop learners’ understanding of different approaches to teaching speaking and listening, while at the same time building their confidence to conduct their own lessons. Learners will first partake in a guided reflection of the key aspects of language learners' speaking and listening development today. They will then be guided through a variety of approaches and activities to teaching listening and speaking and begin to design their own mini speaking & listening lesson. Through hands on practice, reflection, and feedback from their peers and professor, learners will gain a deeper understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of various speaking & listening approaches, methods, and activities, and increase their ability to plan and carry out effective lessons.

3. [Teaching Reading & Writing]

This course is an introduction to teaching the skills of reading and writing to second language (SL) learners (from “elementary” [A2] to “upper-intermediate” [B2] level). You will learn how to apply theory to practice and create effective lessons and teaching materials. By the end of the course, you should be able to design pedagogically sound reading/writing lessons, worksheets, and units of study for use in private institutes and public schools.

We will examine theories, principles and models in instructed second language acquisition and will evaluate the applicability of recent pedagogical developments in the language skills and systems for L2 learners in the Korean ELT context.

2. [Language Awareness]

Language awareness refers to the development in learners of an enhanced consciousness of and sensitivity to the forms and functions of language. The approach has been developed in contexts of both second and foreign language learning, and in mother-tongue language education, where the term ‘knowledge about language’ has sometimes been preferred. In this course, students learn various aspects of English including phonetics, grammar, discourse, etc., which can help them teach English more effectively.

5. [Vocabulary in ELT]

This course focuses on understanding diverse aspects of EFL vocabulary learning and teaching. The course deals with both theoretical studies and practical experiences through reading course books and doing workshops.

6. [Language Assessment Using AI]

The goal of this course is to help students build expertise in language assessment. Students will learn the basic theory of language assessment needed to design and analyze language tests. The statistical techniques necessary to analyze language test data will also be covered in the course, and students will learn how to develop and evaluate multiple-choice items, as well as performance assessment items (such as speaking and writing). This course will discuss ways to produce computer-adaptive language tests using artificial intelligence technologies.

7. [Thesis 1, 2 / Project 1, 2]

4. [Communication Strategies]

This skills course continues in the same vein as Listening and Speaking Essentials in that this course will enable students to communicate at a higher level. That being said, this course differs in a couple important ways. First, a greater emphasis is placed on strategies for effective listening and speaking (for example, how to draw inferences while listening). Second, this course focuses more on the prosodic features of English and on sociolinguistic competence, particularly in regards to register and appropriacy. In addition, students will work towards expanding their academic vocabulary and becoming proficient language users.

5. [Korean Language Basic, Pre-intermediate]
