STATEMENT OF PERSONAL LEARNING GOALS
In this semester, I had the chance to study a new syllabus one of them is
“LANGUAGE TEACHING STRATEGIES” which allows me to know different
methods and techniques to apply at the moment to teach students in order to be an
excellent teacher and contribute to my future students in a positive way.
For me, the main reasons to take this course are that I can create interactive activities
where students feel motivated an encouraged to learn. Furthermore, I’m able to create a
lesson plan with a variety of games and activities according to the level and students’
needs. Also, I learnt some concepts about teaching principles which are very useful to
use within the classroom using the appropriate methodology according to the principle.
In conclusion, this syllabus helps me to be a good professional in the future
applying the appropriate strategies to create a positive learning atmosphere because
these methods have to help to improve the process of teaching-learning where students
will be able to build their own knowledge and acquire the English language in a better
way.

III. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Purpose
To encourage students to process material interactively as well as offer a
comprehensive survey of practical language teaching options, all firmly anchored in
accepted principles of language learning and teaching.
Course Description:
This syllabus is intended to provide students with a range of teaching strategies to teach
English as a foreign language. It also aims to apply language teaching strategies for different
types of learners as well as for different learners’ ages.
At the end of this syllabus, students will be able to:
1.- Identify main concepts for language teaching and learning.
2.- Compare and contrast strategies for teaching English to children.
3.- Analyze language teaching strategies for teenagers.
4.- Apply language teaching strategies for teaching English to adults.
5.-Propose ways to teach English by using teaching strategies in an eclectic way.

10. 10
The methodology that will be applied in the development of the syllabus is Kolb´s strategies
and basically ABP, ABPro, and English methodology as cognitive and meta-cognitive
strategies which may help students develop an independent learning. Some of the evaluation
instruments such a mind maps, charts, oral presentations will be applied in order to get critical
thinking and students´ own conclusion according to each topic.
The development and achievement of the syllabus will contribute with the basis of teaching
itself since methods and techniques are what teachers need to know in order to apply them in
the class. The use of these methods will give students input for teaching and reasons for
teaching depending on the level of students and the environment of the learning process.
At the end of the level, students will have developed the competencies corresponding to B2
Level, described in the Common European Framework of Reference.
Course General Objective:
To develop pedagogical competence in order to internalize the major and minor teaching
methods around the world for teaching English

Reflection: It was a wonderful experience teaching children because I applied the
rewarding principle where I use rewards as praise for the students’ participation. Also, I
use rewards phrases and gold starts which helped students to be encouraged to acquire
the English language.

FINAL REFLECTION
This syllabus “LANGUAGE TEACHING STRATEGIES” that I studied this
semester was very useful because I learnt how to use the twelve principles within the
classroom at the moment to teach students. Furthermore, this syllabus contributes to be
a good professional because students are able to teach children, young learners and
adults using different strategies, activities and materials according to the level.
This module is important because I achieved all the goals during this semester through
practice. Therefore, I learnt main concepts about language teaching strategies and some
strategies to teach English where they are able to produce and communicate the
language effectively. It makes students feel comfortable to learn the language in a good
atmosphere where they can interact with their partners and teachers. Also, I learnt how
to manage students’ behavior applying clear rules in order to control their attitude and
behaviors remind them about the rules and expectations for their behavior.
In conclusion, this module in the future allows us to open dozen of doors and
opportunities as teachers to get good results in our students at the end of the class with
our support and enthusiasm. In addition, it’s beneficial to know this module because it
gives us many advantages in our life to be great and successful professionals.
