This course will aim at paving an academic framework for producing both professional and competent translators for Bangladesh Literature in English. The course will be innovative and open-ended in nature.
The purpose of the course is to study grammatical concepts with concentration on basic sentence structure, principles of punctuation and functional grammar. This course will also examine rhetorical and composition theory, error analysis, methods of error correction and the composing process.
This course will emphasize on reading and comprehension and on vocabulary expansion. The course will explore reasons for teaching reading to students. Students will be encouraged to assess their own comprehension, actively test comprehension using questionnaires, and by improving metacognition. Teaching conceptual and linguistic knowledge is also advantageous.
The translation project will deal with both theoretical and practical aspects of translation while students learn about the varieties of translation, the role of the translator, and the nature and the quality of translation, they will also do a translation work - either that of a novel or a play or a collection of poems - and learn how to interpret a translation in terms of quality, aims, failings, meaning, etc.
The course recognises the fact that Teaching English to Young Learners is a specific skill which needs specific training to be performed effectively. The TEYL course aims at providing recently graduated EFL teachers or practicing teachers with the necessary skills, confidence and ability to be able to teach Young Learners to maximum effect.
The purpose of this course is to introduce the concepts of testing competence and performance; the aims and objectives of language test; the validity and reliability of tests; techniques of developing and administering different types of tests, developing marking criteria and an understanding of the normative and formative value of testing and assessment.
This is a practical course on classroom teaching. Students will be required to use the theoretical knowledge acquired in their previous courses. The course will examine how theory can be transferred to practice in real life classroom teaching situations. Students will maintain a portfolio which will trace their personal and professional development.
Both the practical and theoretical aspects of using computer-assisted learning methods will be explored. The course includes word-processing, data base and spread sheet programs. The internet will be used extensively.
