Teaching and Researching Speaking and Listening (CCME0137)

This module provides an introduction to theory, research and practical advice as to how to teach and improve second language speaking and listening proficiency in the most efficient and effective manner (with a main focus on Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Firstly, the module focusses on major theories in human language acquisition and cognition to help students understand the processes, developmental patterns and factors contributing to successful second language speech learning and training. Secondly, it features a number of recent second language teaching research projects and their pedagogical implications (including actual learning materials) for teaching global (speaking, listening) and specific (pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar) skills.

Key areas to be covered are:

What comprises L2 speaking and listening proficiency?
	Teaching, researching and assessing L2 speaking
	Teaching, researching and assessing L2 listening
	Teaching, researching and assessing L2 pronunciation
	Teaching, researching and assessing L2 fluency
	Spoken and listening L2 lexical proficiency
	Theories in L2 (and L1) speech
	Individual differences in L2 speech learning (aptitude, motivation, emotion & personality)
