Towards Target Language Awareness of English Language Teachers - Three Stories of Teacher Education Projects

Abstract

The process of training future teachers of English has gained a new dimension recently thanks to ubiquitous access to the Web
and widespread availability of hardware and software. Even despite that, however, teacher trainers need to be looking for sound
pedagogical procedures that could be implemented in teacher training sessions. The purpose of the present paper will be to show
the design and implementation of “TEFL specialisation module 4” post-graduate course, aiming at expanding digital teaching
skills and target language awareness of student teachers. In particular, a discussion of text-based, audio-based and video-based
instructional modules will be provided.
