About the Course

In this course, you will be introduced to some of the challenges of teaching and learning listening and speaking, such as paralinguistics, performance variables, reduced and regional forms, and differing types of oral discourse. Don't worry--you'll learn what those mean, too! Then you'll learn how to ease the acquisition of listening and speaking for your students. The course also highlights the powerful opportunity to include pronunciation in listening and speaking classes and offers strategies to incorporate pronunciation activities....

As always, great course. I just wish there were more examples for pronunciation activities just like in the speaking and listening section. But in any case, the course was so informative and engaging!

Excellent course just like the others that are part of this certification program. My concerns are the lack of compatibility with the app (the online course & app never show the same information & it's impossible to access the website from a mobile device without being forced to download/use the app). The other is having to review classmates' assignments. For some reason, I find with these courses that the other students submit assignments that do not follow directions, making it impossible at times to move forward in my own progress. For example, the final required a video submission via Youtube link or direct upload but I came across so many students who submitted links for Google videos (you need an account to view), gigantic formats that were not openable, students who submitted videos of them teaching what was taught directly to us teachers rather than to language-learning students, etc. It seems also that with written assignments, so many students didn't quite grasp the instructions/concept of the assignment. Overall it was great, just wasted some time reviewing assignments.

The way this course has been planned and executed is commendable and innovative. The trainers are lively and creative which consequently excites the learners as well. My experience as a part of this international stream of professionals has been wonderful. Though I have already learned many teaching-learning strategies discussed in the course during my graduation from Notre Dame University, I got an opportunity to refresh and thoroughly revise my teaching skills to become an inspiring language teacher. Thanks a bunch, dear team of Coursera. God bless you all immensely. Noreen Shafique.

The journey throughout the course for sure has taught me a lot of things, including some new concepts in terms of Teaching Listening, Speaking and Pronunciation, patience, and commitment. Yet, the assignments were a bit too much difficult to finish and I am not sure the peer assessment part was quite a good idea as there are so many course attendants who are not very professional and may not have the competency to evaluate the assignments. Thank you anyway I enjoyed it!

This course is designed well ... it's challenging but engaging, and it's also a great model for showing you HOW to teach, in particular how to teach language (focused on listening, speaking and pronunciation) in itself. I do have to subtract a star because the peer-review process is pretty useless ... many other students give no feedback or give feedback that lacks detail, and don't exemplify how we're supposed to give feedback to our students.

Overall, it's a good course with many useful information. I would like to see more resources and technics that are directed related to the teaching of these areas. And I am constantly having trouble(very slowly) loading the micro lessons of my peers, I would recommend to use Youtube to submit this assignment, which works the best from my experience.

The content was fairly strong and easy to understand. I encountered some long waits to receive enough peer reviews to proceed in the course. Also, many students submitted very incomplete work which made peer reviews very awkward.

I found this course gave me great tools to improve my classes. Being a teacher is not something easy but with practice and great professor like the ones in this course we sure can give better things to our students.

The instructors on the videos are great but I really miss having a real professional to give some CRITICAL feedback and to answer questions, since I am an amateur and I'm not familiar with most of these techniques.

Quality of the content is high.

Peer review is a frustrating joke. "Peers" approve any nonsense anyone submits and just beg for reviews on the forum. Quality of "peer" work I have graded is very poor.

It is a really interesting course which you can learn easily. It provides different listening techniques to use in every day class with your students.

Thank staff again for your effort.

I would be happier when you gave me more practical. for example, giving us more hands-out sheets or some websites.

Franlkly speaking, it is awesome. But the previous course - Teach English Now! Second Language Reading, Writing, and Grammar- was better.
