Who do you want to be as a language professional? In this fully asynchronous course, you will articulate your teaching philosophy and prepare yourself for the professional context in which you will be working. As part of this preparation, you will begin your student teaching. Activities will include exploring different teaching contexts, engaging in peer observation and feedback, keeping a teaching journal, compiling an employment portfolio and articulating a professional development plan. By the end of the course, you will be able to articulate your teaching and learning philosophy, your professional objectives, and be able to thoughtfully reflect upon your teaching context and learners. You will demonstrate your learning through the compilation of an employment-focused portfolio. Those seeking to complete the online MA TESOL will need to complete the eight core courses before enrolling in this course. Practicum “B” will be taken upon completion of this course.
