There are many advantages to themed syllabuses for L2 instruction: the natural recycling of core vocabulary and language forms; the inclusion and scaffolding of otherwise inaccessible content; the possibility for a rapid increase in task complexity; the engaging exploration of a specific subject matter; the creation of relatively authentic L2 spaces for FL contexts. Based on his experience in materials development, the speaker will demonstrate how themed syllabuses can be developed for any teaching level.
[Summary]
I first overview the importance and effectiveness of reflection in professional development, which is widely recognized in the field of teacher education. I also present how I have prompted reflection using journals and videotaped microteaching in my pre-service teacher training course. After the overview, the participants will engage in reflection on their own practice and share their reflections with others.
