OBJECTIVES

1.

To understand the relationship between psychological well-being and the acquisition of

English as a second language by people who are new to Canada.

2.

To understand that different kinds of teaching practices must be used with children,

adolescents and adults, due to the emotional, cognitive, and social differences in these

groups.

3.

To learn some basic practices for classroom use for the teaching of aural comprehension,

speaking, reading and writing. Students will focus on practices appropriate for the age/grade

level they are most interested in.

TOPICS

1.

Teaching English phonology.

2.

Teaching English syntax.

3.

Teaching reading in ESL.

4. Teaching writing in ESL.
