This class is for practicing English teachers and those who would like to become an English teacher. Through discussion and reflection we will examine a number of factors necessary for success in a communicative English classroom. We will draw upon the experiences of the participants and selected readings for the basis of our discussion. In addition to the weekly classes, participants are encouraged to communicate with one another via an email group to be set up. This class will be conducted entirely in English, but strongly welcomes those who do not have confidence in their English speaking skills.

Each week the class will be divided into two sections. The first section will cover various things for teachers to consider to improve their own teaching methods. The second section will include class discussion of actual teaching activities that the class participants have done in their own classes.

There will be no textbook used in this class. Handouts will be given weekly.
