About

This Teach English Now - Foundational Principles course offered by Coursera in partnership with Arizona State University is part of the TESOL Certificate, Part 1: Teach English Now! Specialization.

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

Through a series of engaging metaphors and stories, prospective and current EFL/ESL teachers will identify, summarize, and evaluate 7 basic language learning paradigms.  Learners will be presented information on such foundational principles as motivation, risk taking, two different modes of learning, and balancing the teacher profession.  Learners of the Teach English Now - Foundational Principles course offered by Coursera in partnership with Arizona State University are also given an understanding of basic techniques founded on those principles, such as teacher talk, looking “ridiculous” in order to lower the affective filter, and networking.  With these foundational principles in mind, ESL/EFL teachers will scrutinize common assumptions about language learning by comparing how they stack up to research-based core principles.
