Description

This subject presents a critical survey of language teaching approaches and methods both historically and currently. The theoretical underpinnings and methodological principles of second/foreign and additional language teaching are discussed and evaluated. Students in the subject demonstrate their understanding of the philosophies and principles behind how we learn language by designing a plan for a subject of work which integrates content knowledge, contextual fit and language skills.

Please Note: If it’s your first time studying a Curtin University subject you’ll need to complete their compulsory ‘Academic Integrity Program’. It only takes two hours to complete online, and provides you with vital information about studying with Curtin University. The Academic Integrity Program is compulsory, so if it’s not completed your subject grades will be withheld.
