The
University of Jaffna in partnership with Partners in Micro-development Inc.
(PIMD - www.microdevpartners.org ) is pleased to announce the launch of the first in a series of short
courses for primary and junior secondary English teachers in teaching English
literacy (reading and writing).
This
first course in the program – Teaching
Phonological Awareness and Phonics -
provides teachers with a theory- based understanding of language
acquisition by young children, an introduction to the seven language systems,
and a complete teaching program for English phonological awareness and
systematic phonics.
This
program can be implemented alongside the Government English syllabi for primary
grades and lower secondary.
The course runs for 8 weeks. Each week participants will watch a pre-recorded video lecture with slides and submit a homework assignment. Every two weeks there will be a live Zoom tutorial session where you can ask questions.
The first session commences on 2nd January 2023.
