About the Course

Through a series of engaging metaphors and stories, prospective and current EFL/ESL teachers will identify, summarize, and evaluate 7 basic language learning paradigms. Learners will be presented information on such foundational principles as motivation, risk taking, two different modes of learning, and balancing the teacher profession. Learners are also given an understanding of basic techniques founded on those principles, such as teacher talk, looking “ridiculous” in order to lower the affective filter, and networking. With these foundational principles in mind, ESL/EFL teachers will scrutinize common assumptions about language learning by comparing how they stack up to research-based core principles....

I thoroughly enjoyed the course; the peer questions were insightful and fostered critical thinking. I would highly recommend this for all Teachers of English and ESL instructors looking to upskill.

I cannot believe how much I've learned from Dr. Dixon during this course. Cannot wait to use these methods in my own classroom. His teaching strategies and tips are beyond spectacular and helpful!
