 The face-to-face sessions will be based on lectures, set readings, individual and group work, class discussion, workshop tasks, video viewing, microteaching sessions, lesson planning activities, oral presentations, case studies, and feedback on assignments. Students will participate in workshop sessions where they will be asked to design activities based on the content presented. They will become familiar with picture books, songs, rhymes, role-play activities, crafts and music games, and with their exploitation in the young learner classroom.
