This will be an interactive course which means you will be asked to discuss ideas, read articles on Moodlinka so you can participate actively, write in an on-line forum, and facilitate one class. We will examine theories and techniques for teaching English as a foreign language to learners with learning disabilities. Information, resources and examples of teaching methods will be provided in our weekly sessions as well as on Moodlinka.

This course explores those areas of English pronunciation that Czech students of English find difficult. Our aim is native-like pronunciation. Authentic materials, mimicking and drill help Ss to reach this higher level of pronunciation. This course also focuses on Ss´ ability to transcribe heard and seen text, and on their ability to transfer our classroom materials to the primary school environment. Self-study is a crucial part of this course.
