EDSE 1101E English Methods (Teaching Fellows)
The purpose of this course is to introduce you to a variety of approaches, routines, materials, and issues that concern English teachers in secondary school settings, and to help you develop a set of lessons, assessments, and materials to use during your first few weeks of teaching. The course will provide time for you to practice and experiment with methods introduced in class readings and discussions. This course will also provide a controlled and supportive environment for trying out strategies and techniques that may be somewhat different from your previous experiences in English classrooms. At the same time, you will be asked to share what you observe in your morning in-school sessions of the everyday realities of teaching and learning in authentic classroom settings. These observations will further inform your emerging conception of effective approaches and practices in the field of English education.
