The course takes a close look at teaching language sub-skills (or language systems), i. e. vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and spelling, to young learners. Various presentation and practice techniques will be demonstrated, experienced, and discussed in relation to theory. In the roles of teachers, the participants will prepare and realize short micro-teaching sessions and reflect upon them using theoretical knowledge and literature. They will then use the new insights as well as previously gained skills and knowledge to create full lesson plans integrating two or more sub-skills.
