Objectives
The Masters in English Didactics (e-learning regime) is the result of a partnership with Open University and its goals are:
- to deepen knowledge in the field of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL);
- to promote digital literacy and intercultural communication by focusing on the two biggest challenges which society and schools face in recent times: the increasingly multilingual and multicultural dimension of societies and the development of new technologies;
- to discover new methodologies in teaching English as a Foreign Language;
- to promote the continuous training of teachers of English as a Foreign Language;
- to mobilise and apply the scientific, cultural, pedagogical and didactic knowledge acquired to the production of teaching/learning and assessment activities which are appropriate to the specificities of the students and the school environments;
- to reflect on the ethical, social and cultural implications of the profession in the context of the problems of the contemporary world and citizenship training;
- to develop research skills for professional development.
Note: This course is a continuing training course for teachers of English, not a vocational masters. If you want a professional qualification to teach English, you should look for a Masters in teaching and consult the relevant legislation.
