Earlier this week

http://training.webmakerprototypes.org/en/

 

May 12 to June 15 – Part 2 of Shaping the Way we Teach English, a MOOC for Language Teachers

You are invited to participate in “Shaping the Way We Teach English: Paths to Success in English Language Teaching“. This is the second course of the series but you did not have to participate in Part 1 to be eligible to participate in Part 2. This course is a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). This means that you do not need to log in at any one specific time during the week but you will be given readings, assignments, and discussions questions that are due at a specific time each week. You should log into the course a few times a week to be successful. Registration is unlimited so please feel free to share with your colleagues. We also encourage teachers to work collaboratively. Many successful MOOC participants have formed facilitation groups. Each individual will still need to submit his/her work online, but facilitation groups meet once a week to discuss the content of the course. If you complete the course, you will be issued a “Statement of Accomplishment” from Coursera. Course Information: Part 2: Paths to Success in English Language Teaching – Begins May 12 Enroll at:  https://www.coursera.org/course/shaping2paths Week 1, May 12: Integrating skills and using tasks to motivate learners Week 2, May 19: Alternative assessment to demonstrate language ability Week 3, May 26: Incorporating individual learning differences in instruction Week 4, June 2: Effective classroom management Week 5, June 9: Reflective teaching
