It provides opportunities to investigate the factors which affect teaching, learning and assessment in the classroom: the role of language, the roles of teachers and learners, and of learning and interaction in the development of methodology for TESOL. These is a consideration of issues and policy frameworks which guide curriculum planning, implementation and evluation decision in terms of syllabus, test and task design, and TESOL perspectives on ICT and programme management. The curricular framework is broadly communicative, exploring strategies and techniques for the development of speaking, listening, reading and writing skills in English. The unit introdues the activities of assessment, evaluation and learning materials evaluation in TESOL, aspects of the curriculum which can be explored in great depth in optional units.
