All the theories are presented in an extremely organized way. The dramatic representation has been rather memorable. Seeing myriad theories from the lens of time has helped my knowledge stick. Great presentations on what language instruction approaches have looked like in the past and present. Each approach is discussed and evaluated so the "best of's" can be applied in your own teaching.It offers a unique linguistic and cultural environment for its students. English is routinely heard, spoken, and used in and out of the classroom. Numerous opportunities are available for practicing English in formal and informal settings. It is the perfect campus for improving one’s own communicative competence in English while learning how to be an expert at teaching others. The ELT program offers a solid foundational curriculum in language teaching theory and pedagogy while promoting opportunities to become a competent and reflective life-long learner of language and culture - in this case, English.Expected Student Outcomes• Knowledge of English as a language• Understanding of the role of English in a globalized world• Comprehension and application of fundamental TESOL theories and methods• Familiarity with methods of inquiry in language education• Processing and critical analysis of Information• Competence in language classroom communication issues• Ability to express oneself professionally in speaking and writing• Self-reflection as an educatorthe opportunity to learn practical skills from specialized coursework, and later to implement those new skills through the required practicum make the ELT program an invaluable resource of professional development for aspiring teachers and in-service teachers alike.curiosity, critical thinking, and courage. My curiosity did not stop at the time of graduation, but instead, it still persists. The ELT program also taught me the importance of thinking critically. When you devise and prepare your teaching materials and activities, you cannot just decide whether they are good or bad on your own. It is essential to think critically, that is, to find advantages and disadvantages of them. Discussing with classmates and joining the English Village Program at AIU, for example, are a great help to learn how to think critically. Finally, courage is what I mostly owe to the ELT program. In it, you may have to face your own weaknesses that you have already noticed but do not want other people to point out. You may also find out that what you have worked hard on and done is not actually meeting your professors' expectations and may realize that your efforts have not been enough. I believe that awareness and the determination to rise to the challenge are vital for your progress. These 3Cs, taught at AIU and the ELT program, will you lead to greater professionalism.
