Welcome to English for Teachers, grades 7-9 at Dalarna University

The lessons in this course will be taught online via Zoom. Recorded and other course material will be made available here on our learning platform. When you take this course, you will study the following, this term:

• Written Proficiency in English I
• Children and Young Adult Literature 

An important feature in the design of the course is that it connects theory with practice. For example, we go through important things to consider when writing in English and when considering and analysing literature in the teaching of English to pupils in year 7-9.
We view group work as an important resource in all course activities, made evident by the feedback of previous participants of the course, who highlighted the value of group discussions. Due to the broad scope of the course, it is impossible to go into depth on all topics, but we hope that what you learn will inspire interest and help you develop the skills and knowledge you need in your continued professional development.

An introduction to the course is scheduled for Monday, September 1,  3.00 - 4.00 pm via Zoom. The link will be available before the start of term.

Zoom link to all seminars will be available before the start of the course.

Course guides and other material will be available under Modules before the start of the course.
