About the course

The course gives you a theoretical and practical basis to work with language development with students of different ages and is suitable for both those studying to become a teacher and those who already work as a teacher. In the course you will further develop your language didactic knowledge, particularly about working methods in the classroom that can support student development towards a wide range, both in speaking and in writing.

During the course we alternate between individual assignments and group discussions about orality, reading and writing in the classroom. You will analyze authentic student texts and speech and use assessment models about students oral and written development.

This course is completely digital. Consider that a distance learning course require the same amount of effort as a campus course.
