Understanding how to become a scholar-practitioner in the field of education
概要
The seminar is for students who want to be English teachers in the future. In two years and through rigorous research and practice, students will gain the skill, confidence, and motivation needed to become a scholar/practitioner in the TEFL field. We will start by gaining experience as a researcher through practice, as students will become Teaching Assistants (TA) and English Support Room (ESR) staff, and the journey will culminate in a graduation thesis concerning an issue in TEFL. The journey will take place while students are involved in the two ongoing projects.The first project of is to build English skills and acquiring of Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) in which we will aim for a proficiency of Grade P1 on the STEP. The BICS will be the stepping stone to gain Cognitive/Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) needed to discuss, read, and write academically in English. The second project will be teacher pre-service readiness and training. The students will gain experience helping and teaching students in the ESR. In addition, from the second semester the students will gain teaching experience as TAs in English courses for a combination of teaching experience inside and outside the classroom.In sum, this seminar will focus on raising basic and academic English skills and conducting research in the field of pedagogy which should give the students the experience essential for taking the teachers exam as well as becoming a teacher in the future.

Project two: In the first semester will be discussing how research is conducted culminating with a problem statement and a research question. The second semester will end with a draft of a research plan in which the students will be ready to conduct research related to their thesis topic. The student will be required to finish Chapter 1 (Introduction) and 2 (Literature Review) of their thesis before the start of the third semester. These chapters will prepare the students for conducting research in the third semester and write up Chapter 3 (results) a Chapter 4 (Conclusion) before the beginning of their final semester. If students are on schedule, the final semester will be for students to continue their research in their field perhaps writing another report on the topic to published with the advisor or prepare for the teachers examination. |
評価
Assessment will be based on study progress and time allotted to research and English studies.Study time is very important. Though we will hold the seminar every Friday Evening, student are expected to meet with the teacher frequently to discuss matters in education as well as discussing the progress of individual study. The student will also be studying in the ESR to get used to an environment of working among many people as does a teacher in the workforce.
