Lecture Notes
Language Teaching Methodology (LTM) is a both challenging and less appreciated course for the students majoring ESL literature,translation, and (sometimes) applied linguistics. The reactions to LTM vary from extreme delight to extreme dislike on the part of the students. Teaching this course for a couple years, I have seen clearly the challenges the students experience and the support and understanding they need to cope with this course requirements. Te contents of this page entitled Lecture Notes are prepared to meet some the needs and to provide students with a deeper understanding of the concepts and issues in TEFL. This page contains summary notes and power-point slides of the topics and issues presented in classes as part of the syllabus. The students who are having the course with me can find the issues of their choice here to view or download. The first two chapters of Douglas Brown’s book are also rewritten and elaborated in simpler language for better grasp of the basic concepts.
