Question

English in International Learning

During the course of the subject, students are expected to interact with each other in the discussion forums of the subject's Moodle site. Based on this weekly interaction (i.e., postings and responses to classmates' postings), write - in first personal singular - an 800 word reflection about what you learned in regards to key principles of teaching English in international contexts and the changing role and nature of World Englishes. In an appendix include four of your forum postings to support your reflection/discussion, to provide evidence of your participation, and to show how your forum posts and interaction facilitated your learning process and understanding of key issues in teaching English in international contexts, especially your chosen context. Also, include in the discussion/reflection two pieces of advice that you would give a second language instructor teaching English in your chosen country (i.e., the context in which you situated assessment tasks 1 and 2). Discuss the two pieces of advice in light of professional development in which a prospective teacher should engage in order to teach English effectively in your chosen country/context.

Note:

•This task requires you to revisit the discussion forums of all of the topics and to analyze your contributions as well as your classmates' postings and responses;

•Engagement with other students in the forums is an essential aspect of this assessment task;

•The appendix and the reference list are not part of the 800 words
