About the Course

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 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....

I do not regret taking this course. Although I was reluctant when I first saw the course, I took it nonetheless and I am glad I did. I think this is worth my time for a free course.

The information is short, and to the point. I learned quite a bit and they provide good jumping off points for further study and learning. The presentations are easy to understand.
