TMENG23: English Teaching Methods

Dear students,
Welcome to this module TMENG23. This module is concerned with specific teaching methods for English language. Although the methods that have been evolved to teach this discipline may be complex and different, the underlying ideas, principles, techniques and procedures on which they are based remain essentially the same. A general and powerful trend in language teaching methods tend to shift from teacher-based approaches to student-centered approaches. hence,  in line with the current Rwandan CBC, it is the students who need the practice and who need to explore study problems and not the teacher.

They have to be guided on how to react properly to different contexts and find out their own responses for their own lives.  

This module is designed for year  two students doing English as one of the subjects in their combinations.  

Module aim

The module aims to allow students to teach effectively and efficiently English as a language at both O-level and upper secondary level, explaining various theories in language teaching, explaining the general trends and nature of language education methodology, selecting  and using methods and techniques enabling learners to acquire linguistic competence and performance skills. It will enable students to effectively apply both deductive and inductive approaches to the teaching of English in Rwandan schools. Resources in language teaching and testing will be tackled too.
