Project Description
In collaboration with host institution faculty members, the EL Fellow will develop and teach language skills courses for academic purposes in the areas of writing and presentation skills. These courses should be based on experiential approaches that provide learners with opportunities to use the language in meaningful ways. The writing skills course should be designed to further develop learners' skills in essay writing, writing using different registers and note-taking. Critical thinking skills, and American society/civic education content should be incorporated into all the courses. The Fellow will also participate in written and oral exams for the course s/he taught during the examination periods of October 2006, January 2007, April 2007 and June 2007. Since the Department is currently undergoing a reform in the course curricula, the Fellow's contribution to the design of courses and material development will be crucial. The Fellow will also be expected to schedule presentations at the Belgrade American Corner to give workshops on American life and culture, language teaching methodology, and other topics. The Fellow's engagement in the Corner's activities would not only substantially strengthen the American Corner program but also expand the Fellow's reach into the broader community.
