Brief Overview

Second language teaching, as literature (e.g. Richards, 1995; Richards & Rodgers, 2001;
Hinkel, 2017) cautions, is often misleadingly conceived of as hinging entirely on the act of
teaching. It involves a carefully designed integration of a panoply of processes ranging from
curriculum planning and development: including identification of materials or exploiting
assigned textbooks, appropriate instructional strategies an assessment procedures, to facilitating
implementation. With respect to the latter, it is particularly imperative that implementation
processes necessarily focus on, and include responsive provisions for ensuring, teachers’
readiness as it relates to knowledge; skills and orientations to implement the designed
programme.
This Day 2 session is designed to help participants understand and explore how
to successfully achieve the interface between theoretical understanding and their contextual
application.

EL Teacher Training Day 2 Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the session participants will be able to:
 Reflect on & identify their orientations about teaching English as a second language
 Exhibit clarity about the processes, foci and challenges involved in teaching English as a
second language
 Explore & analyse the links between recommended approaches to the teaching of the
four language macro-skills and those required to enact the SNC
 Demonstrate their understanding of links between curriculum, textbooks and language
teaching approaches and methodologies/pedagogies
 Develop a SNC and SNC Textbook-based lesson plan for teaching any/all of the language
macro-skills
Remember
 Participants’ understanding will be checked based on the previous day’s
learning.
 Participants will have to read all the resource material and watch videos
carefully to respond to Checking for Understanding sections.
 Participants may be asked by their Master Trainer to share their
input/feedback on certain activities in a WhatsApp group created for
Single National Curriculum Training.
 Participants will complete Self-Assessment section at the end of every
unit in order to move to the next unit.
 Participants will be able to respond to the questions about reading
material and videos when they concentrate.
 The links of additional resources are also given therefore; participants
may consult them for better understanding of the concepts.
 Learning never ends when we are keen to learn something new all the
