English for primary school teaching in school years 4-6, 30 credits
30 credits
The course furthers students' proficiency in the English language and gives a good theoretical and practical basis for teaching English to pupils in school years 4–6 (children aged 9–12). Young learners' language, ICT in the classroom, cross-curricular studies, grammar, academic writing & oral presentations, assessment and grading as well as children's literature are areas that are covered in the course. Students also visit schools and take part in English teaching in Swedish primary education as a part of the course. Please note that these school visits sometimes take place in towns 10–50 kilometres away from Kalmar/Växjö, and that students have to pay for bus/train tickets on their own.
1EN270 is suitable for exchange students from Linnaeus university partner institutions who are studying to become primary school teachers in their home countries. The students study together with Swedish students on the primary school teacher training programme.
