(in Polish) Warsztat nauczyciela w zakresie metodyki nauczania języka obcego: Nauczanie i ocenianie środków językowych - aspekty leksykalne, gramatyczne, ortograficzne oraz fonetyczne 4100-2SPMEN-WNNiOA
The course aims to develop participants’ knowledge and skills in the principles, methods and techniques of teaching and assessing grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and spelling in a foreign language. Particular emphasis is placed on developing the ability to analyse, select, design and adapt teaching methods, materials and resources to learners’ needs in order to develop their lexical and grammatical competence. Special attention is given to techniques for presenting, practising and assessing grammatical structures and vocabulary, as well as to providing effective feedback, including error correction in spoken and written language (grammatical, lexical, spelling and pronunciation errors).
During the course, participants evaluate and adapt teaching content and instructional materials, including coursebooks, in the light of current knowledge and research, and develop their own lesson plans (or lesson segments) and teaching materials.
