Anotace
Základní kurz Didaktika AJ 2 (pokra čování kurzu Didaktika AJ 1)
Tento aplikovaně lingvistický kurz si klade za cíl poskytnout jak teoretickou bázi pro vyučování cizích jazyků, tak platformu pro procvičování a rozvoj konkrétních praktických technik a dovedností, které charakterizují učitelskou profesi v oboru vyučování angličtiny jako cizího jazyka. Studenti se v seminářích seznamují s klíčovými, současným výzkumem podloženými koncepty například z oborů jazykové akvizice, lingvistiky, psycholingvistiky, pedagogiky, psychologie a vzdělávání učitelů jazyků. Tyto poznatky vytvářejí bázi pro získávání specifických technik využitelných při výuce cizích jazyků, které studenti procvičují, observují, hodnotí a kriticky vyhodnocují na příklad prostřednictvím mikrovyučování či video observací.
