Before the teaching service, students have to work in teams and develop suitable and relevant teaching activities for the speaking workshop. In other words, they co-create the workshop syllabus.

Students will have to facilitate speaking session in the visiting school/ centre. They will discuss with the school teachers/ centre representatives to learn about their learners’ ability and needs.

Since this subject is about English language teaching, we expect students to have a reasonably good command of English proficiency, specially in terms of pronunciation.  Certainly, one’s passion for serving the community is another very important selection criterion too.

We will evaluate students mainly on their performance in the four assessed tasks (details can be found from the power point). This means that in order to get a good grade, your performance in presentations and writing is important.

However, doing a service-related subject requires one to have a heart to serve. If students’ primary concern is their grade, they might probably be not the right candidates for the subject.

There will be sponsorship via the University non-local service fund.  But students are still expected to contribute partially to the expenses incurred. Details will be announced usually in the first meeting of the subject.

Please observe this schedule:
