Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

The seminar deals with theories of language which are conducive to language education, English language education in particular. The aim of the seminar is to explore the main differences between language learning and literacy development through an analysis of linguistic and social theories that have affected literacy education. Key themes to be dealt with in the seminar include literacy development, multiliteracies, language as social semiotic, writing and reading pedagogies, the role of metalanguage in EFL literacies, formal and informal literacies, multimodality and the role of new digital media in the development of EFL literacies.

The work to be done throughout the course will involve students in applying the knowledge acquired to practical tasks which will necessarily require the class to address issues related to EFL literacy development and language pedagogy in formal and informal educational contexts.

Students will be asked to read papers and articles from various sources and to be prepared to discuss them in the seminar. Assessment will be done in terms of oral participation in class, oral presentations, short assignments and an end-of the term written project. Students should keep the various assignments and project work in a portfolio which is submitted to the instructor for evaluation at the end of the semester. 

Course evaluation is conducted through anonymously completed questionnaires and class discussion.
