    • Course Description and Aims: 

      Admittedly, teaching occurs when a teacher is able to make his learners do the things that they have never been able to do before, thus reaching a maximum amount of positive learning outcomes. All too often, EFL and ESL teachers, most definitely, bring to class personal styles, personal beliefs and even personal assumptions of how to undertake their teaching practices with a top-down process which is fuelled by an instructional methodology dish out by managers. Teacher education as an alternative blueprint; however, attempts to bring about pedagogical development through enhancing would-be teachers‟ ability to observe, reflect upon and refine their own instructional methodology. 

      As evidence indicates, this series of lectures is to highlight the necessity for would-be teachers as well experienced teachers to visualise through different eyes the picture of classroom environment and practices. Hereby, this awareness develops professional growth, which allows those teachers to make appropriate judgments and decisions. In this line of thought, teacher education development as a substitute to training, if sustained by the bases and principles of an approach of teaching, can trigger a more predictable and comprehensive formulation and enactment of teaching practices that can be undertaken by a teacher as a reflective practitioner.

       In down-to-earth terms, when teacher education development, is viewed as an imminent strategy meant for professional development, the teacher who is a would-be, newbie or a veteran teacher can broaden, or shape new ways of teaching which would enable him to reset and to refine emphatically his teaching practices and his principles of tackling the job of teaching with more commitment, diligence and devotion. Thereby, the lectures as processed aim at a provision of academic facts which hopefully guide Master two students who are considered as would-be teachers, towards tackling the job of teaching with an in-depth understanding of how to articulate teaching practices that might lead to effective teaching.
