TextbookTanner, R. and Green, C. (1998). Tasks for Teacher Education: A reflective approach



C ourse DescriptionThis course aims to provide an introduction to the teaching profession along

with certain principles that shape the way student teachers teach.

We first examine ³the first lesson´ including how they start a new class byemploying ice-breaker activities.

Then, we touch upon the importance of the distinction between observationand evaluation so that they could provide more constructive feedback witheach other.

F ollowing this, we try to build a basis on the effective ways of managing aclass in accordance with the humanistic approaches.In the second part of the course, we go on with NLP principles (Neuro

Linguistic Programming) that might have a huge impact on their

understanding of teaching.We explore teaching pronunciation that is often neglected in the area of

foreign language teaching. Last, student teachers are expected to demoteaching pronunciation in the classroom.
