Teaching Young Learners

This is an undergrad course that I taught at the European University of Cyprus in the Fall semester of 2014. It consisted of teaching methods to students of English Language and Literature, who sought theoretical and practical knowledge on teaching EFL. We covered areas and key issues in teaching and teacher education such as pedagogical approaches to teaching a foreign language to young learners, as they evolved through the decades, creation and evaluation of material, lesson planning, classroom management, technology integration and pedagogical underpinnings.

These classes worked the 4 skills and a particular emphasis on the communication, reading comprehension and writing skills in Barcelona, in order to respond to the requirements of their specialization, and present research in international academic events.

Prior to moving to Barcelona, I taught English as a FL to young and adult learners in private and government institutes in Nicosia, Cyprus. These classes provided preparation for the British Council exams, at KET and FCE level.
