Task Descriiption:
As TESOL teachers, our main duty involves teaching English to our students in different contexts. Critical TESOL invites us to do this teaching with an awareness of issues of language and inequality. The aim of this assessment task is to help students prepare themselves for critical teaching in their current or future professional life. As an example of critical pedagogy, this teaching is expected to make some difference in the life of students.
For your teaching presentation, you will first choose relevant concepts or ideas, or methods or strategies related to the weekly topic that you are assigned. You will then present one, two or three teaching and learning activities (as may be required) to illustarte the concepts, ideas or strategies. The teaching presentation will start from Week 6. Each student will be assigned a weekly topic by Week 4. As an example, if you are scheduled to do your presentation in Week 8, your topic will be the topic of the previous week (i.e., Week 7). For your presentation, you will choose specific ideas related to this broad topic. You should not try to cover the whole topic in your presentation.
This is an individual presentation and will be 20 minutes long.
While most students will be asked to video-record their presentations outside the class and submit through the blackboard for assessment (showing themselves in the recording), some students will have the opportunity to present in the class in real time. The tutor will make the final decision about who will present in the class and who will record their presentations.
