| The Becoming a Creative Teacher manual consists of 15 modules. The first module is a brief overview of understanding the characteristics and needs of young learners. The second module focuses on lesson planning which is the most important element in teaching preparation. The third module focuses on classroom management which is at the heart of any teaching practice. The next four modules focus on the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and grammar and vocabulary; these are followed by five modules on teaching techniques which are especially useful in the elementary classroom. Modules 13 and 14 examine the broader issues of multiple intelligences and the use of basic multimedia. The final module offers information and ideas for assessing young learners. |
