Competence Oriented Approach | The course is based on the principles of participatory adult education, by embodying participants' experiences and fostering the exchange of their ideas, proposals and materials. Its focus is not merely on the didactic aspect of teaching adults but also on the participants' social and cultural knowledge gained through education, and teaching to different target groups throughout Europe. During the course, the following techniques will be implemented: working in subgroups and pairs, role play, microteaching, lectures, guided conversation, brainstorming, language and educational games and experiential activities. The course also includes microteaching sessions by the participants. During this, participants will have the opportunity to assess the language games to be presented by applying the techniques of observation, interviewing and group discussion. Participants will also be given hand-outs, original materials, lists of language games and websites for teaching tools. |
