Overview
Our course concept based planning will bring you to use your subject’s ‘big ideas’, or ‘powerful knowledge’ to drive the lesson, rather than focusing on specific and separate pieces of information, knowledge, or tasks.
This teacher training will let you understand how to integrate different lessons by giving students a more coherent experience, after this course, you will be able to help your students to journey deeper into your subject by leading students to consider the context in which they are going to use their understanding.
After this course, you will be able to bring content knowledge and skills to “real world” meaning. You will get a deeper knowledge of how to let the students become critical thinkers and how to develop your students’ ability to creatively solve problems in the 21st century.
You will lead your students to think about content and facts by bringing them to understand how they can transfer their knowledge between personal experiences, learning from other disciplines, and the broader global community, and this, by using teaching and learning techniques that are driven by overarching concepts.
Completing this course will help you:
- Create connections to students’ prior experience
- Bring relevance to student learning
- Facilitate deeper understanding of content knowledge
- Act as a springboard for students to respond to their learning with action.

Methodologies
Total Physical Response
Total Physical Response is considered to be an excellent way of learning vocabulary. Moreover, since it is based on commands, the students can easily learn the meaning of the words in the target language.
The Structural Approach
This method is based on the opinion that it is imperative to understand the structures of the language. Understanding the complexities of the structures of the sentences in a language is more important than learning the vocabulary of the language.
The Direct Method
This method primarily focuses on the development of oral skills. One of the most important characteristic feature of this method is that visual materials and real-life objects are used. Moreover, such an oral training helps in reading and writing. There is no translation involved in this method.
