Research Paper in TESOL

Research Paper in TESOL

The Research Paper in TESOL Course provides an opportunity for graduate students to develop a detailed literature review on a topic of interest in the field of English language education. With the support of their advisor, students will identify a topic of personal and professional interest related to language education, conduct an extensive literature review, and develop a culminating research paper for their graduate program. This research paper will incorporate not only historical and seminal works related to the chosen topic, but also contemporary and more recent research from a variety of perspectives, including but not limited to those of researchers, teachers and practitioners, administrators, and learners. The graduate students may choose to incorporate their own voice into this research paper, as well as observations and recommendations based on the literature review. The final research paper is a summation of the field's knowledge on the topic, and it is expected to be suitable for publication and / or as a resource for future graduate students as they engage in their investigative inquiries.
Students who choose to write a research paper will focus on the development of an extensive literature review which will compile the voices of various sources on a focused topic discussed with their advisor. While no additional traditional data collection based research is required for the Research Paper, two additional specialization elective or core elective courses (one which is in lieu of Research Proposal Writing in the Social Sciences) are required for graduation.

Language and Culture in EFL Education

This course will focus on the study of culture and its influence on forms of communication and language expression as well as the bi / multicultural nature of the EFL learning context. As language learning and cultural learning both involve cognitive and embodied processes, students will be expected to connect the content to their own experiences. The course will begin by students learning who they are as cultural beings and progress to learning how this impacts choices made in curriculum design, and in the classroom as well as how these choices may impact their students. Topics will include critical analysis of the inextricable nature of culture and language in the learning and teaching processes. Emphasis will be placed on developing an understanding of the contradictions and challenges in the language learning process, as well as utilizing strategies for achieving success in the EFL classroom. Through extensive reading and critical discussion of a number of issues dealing with topics related to culture and its role in the language learning process, students will develop an ability in their own English language and critical thinking skills to compete on par with other students in an English-medium academic environment. In addition to the core textbook, students will be provided with relevant readings to serve as a springboard for critical analysis, writing, discussion, debate, and presentation.

Technology and Second Language Education

Advanced skills in digital literacy and use of technology are of particular importance to any training teacher, not just because they are included in the list of essential 21st Century skills to be focused on for learners in education, but as we have seen from the current global situation due to Covid-19, online and computer-based learning has become the norm for many classrooms all over the world, so it’s now essential for any teacher to have a clear understanding of the possibilities, advantages and drawbacks of technology in the teaching and learning environment.
 This course aims at enabling participants to critically analyse the many systems and applications technology has made available to teachers and build up their digital toolbox for teaching. After looking at the development of the computer, Internet and digital resources, a framework or criteria for assessing these tools in connection with current methodology will be created by the participants working together. In addition to reading on the topic areas and participating in classroom discussions around key TED talks on technology, participants will write two reflection papers, showing their own understanding of technology and its relationship to second language teaching at the beginning and end of the course. Participants will also prepare and make a number of interactive, hands-on presentations about certain systems, eg Google Classroom, and applications, eg Flipgrid, to the class, clearly showing their advantages and disadvantages. Participants will also be asked to consider how they can apply the key concepts regarding technology combined with current educational approaches practically to the EFL classroom through producing a lesson plan for developing listening, speaking, reading or writing skills through digital technology.

Educational Philosophy

This is an elective course for graduate students in the ILE TESOL program. Philosophy of education explores the purposes of education in general, including questions about who should be educated, what should be included in an education, under what conditions education should take place, and how education should be realized. Pursuing these topics leads to consideration of the roles of teachers, students, and other stakeholders in education; the nature of curriculum for education; and the purpose of education in society.
This course will focus on exploring the various possible purposes for education and their implications in regard to the questions raised above. The first half of the class will make use of an inquiry-based model framed around "What if..." questions about different possible purposes of education. The class will also focus on more specifically on recent thought about philosophy of education, and will include material about Asian approaches to educational philosophy. Students will be expected to lead and participate in discussions of different approaches  to education. Discussion leaders will be expected to prepare beyond the text to engage other students in their topic. The ultimate goal of this class is to have students consider what their personal philosophy of education is, and how that could be realized if they were to design their own school.

Pedagogical English Grammar

This course aims to allow students to understand English grammar and to learn methodologies to teach it. The focus will be on developing an in-depth understanding of grammatical structures and their function in communication and on increasing the awareness of what to be taught and learned about English grammar more effectively in the ESL/EFL classroom. Learning grammar will lead us to recognize that it is not only learning the rules for constructing sentences out of words but also it can help us understand which words and grammar forms are used, what the expressions with them mean and why. The more we know about grammar and how it works, the more conscious we can become of where learners find difficulty, how learners' attention should be focused on distinctive features and how they reach the level of having effective communication. To accomplish the aims of this course, various topics and activities will be covered in the 15 weeks. The topics will help students recognize difficult issues, and deepen their understanding of grammar so that their pedagogical techniques will develop and improve. Students will present ideas on pedagogical approaches, so that the class members can compare and share teaching techniques.
