Host Institution Dzemal Bijedic University, The American Corner Project Description
The EL Fellow will teach language communication classes and academic writing skills classes to 2nd, 3rd and 4th year university students. The Fellow will teach standard practices for academic research. The Fellow will also teach the fourth year language teaching methodology course and will be responsible for administering required exams. Using the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEF), the Fellow will develop pre and post tests and activities and syllabuses that help students achieve higher levels within that system. By modeling an approach that is pegged to CEF standards/benchmarks, the Fellow will demonstrate to his/her local colleagues the validity and relevance of a different approach to the official examination routine - one that is more in line with Council of Europe's language education mandates. The Fellow will plan presentations on criteria based assessment focusing on the CEF to his/her colleagues and demonstrate how the communicative courses he/she has developed and teaches fit into this schema. The Fellow will also teach a bi-weekly (two 90 minute sessions) English course to secondary school students enrolled at the local Medresa who are recipients of ACCESS micro-scholarships. Finally, the Fellow will also continue to be active in developing and implementing regular and relevant programs for the American Corner. |
