Abstract

Teaching English as a foreign language is a rapidly growing and dynamic field that combines theory and practice to provide educators and teachers with the required competence and knowledge to teach English to speakers of other languages. As a result, the role of the teacher has evolved from providing only instruction to the dual role of facilitator and mentor. Therefore, this course stresses not only the fundamental ideas of language instruction but also the creative strategies modern teachers could apply to improve the learning experience. Therefore, the course and handout equip the learners with a deep understanding of teaching English as a foreign language, the nature of language skills and systems, lesson planning, classroom management and methodology of teaching. It incorporates the triangle of didactics that includes the teacher, the student and the content (the lesson) for better understanding of TEFL. Thus, the primary aim is to allow the learners to grow as reflective practitioners who can be flexible in their teaching styles to cater to the various needs of the English language teaching. Consequently, by completing the course, learners will have the required knowledge and tools to create effective, engaging and inclusive meaningful and communicative lessons by moving from linguistic systems and skills, effective lesson planning, incorporating the four skills in lessons and flexible classroom management.
