Language Awareness for Teachers 2: Listening and Speaking

This course is a continuation of ELTU2202 and provides prospective teachers with an opportunity to enhance their listening and speaking skills in English. Having focused on effective strategies for listening and responding in an appropriate and professional manner in academic settings in the preliminary course, this course provides further experience in developing proficiency in listening and speaking. Coursework will include: using written and audio texts as prompts for varied listening and speaking activities; a reading aloud programme to develop vocal presentation skills; and a prepared oral presentation on a range of topics, including those related to teaching English in Hong Kong.
