Description:
The course provides students with the skills required to develop their research abilities through the recognition and practice of the techniques and processes involved in the completion of team research projects. The students are given orientation to the meaning and practice of academic research, its various types and tools, the processes involved, and the reasons for undertaking a research project in language teaching. Real implementation of such knowledge materializes with the production of quality English supplementary materials of reasonable length to be developed in collaboration with the teachers and supervisors of English in Nablus area.
Description of the project
Student teams will be formed to work on the design of supplementary materials for the 2nd semester English curriculum, grades 1-4. Each team will work on designing material for one language component in the curriculum for each school book- reading, writing, listening, or grammar. The teams will coordinate their work with the grade teachers and English language supervisors in the public schools by having periodic interviews/meetings on the results of curriculum analysis stage and periodic consultations on tasks and activities.
The teams working on the same grade curriculum will coordinate their work to ensure that no overlap occurs and that the materials designed by all teams can be put together in one book to be presented to the ministry of education district office at the end of the semester.
