Unit 1 - Understanding how children learn languages
Unit 2 - Different language learning approaches
Unit 3 - Context of English language learning in India
This unit will have a brief description of how English learning has been attempted in India, the history of different approaches tried in India. How to teach English in a multilingual context will be the focus of this unit.
Unit 4 - Overview of the language curriculum in this course
Based on different language approaches, the curriculum will focus on providing activities for learning English through acquisition.
The subsequent modules will therefore focus on hearing (listening), seeing (reading), speech and writing in that order. There will also be lesson examples that will be given for providing resource extensions and multi-media input for language lessons in their English language textbooks.
