The course aims to bridge the gap between traditional teaching methods and contemporary education's dynamic, technology-driven world, ensuring that future educators can effectively utilize digital resources to enrich the teaching-learning experience. It covers integrating technology in language and literature classrooms by exploring educational technologies, analyzing technology standards, and developing tech-enhanced instructional materials. Through lectures, group projects, and hands-on demonstrations, students critically engage with the latest tools and methodologies to enhance their teaching practices. At the end of the course, students will create and showcase innovative teaching tools and strategies at a Technology Fair, demonstrating their proficiency in using technology to enhance language learning. This comprehensive approach ensures that students are well-prepared to implement technology in educational settings, fostering an interactive and modern learning environment.

This course enhances students’ understanding of English grammar from different points of view, thereby, enabling them to effectively and ethically apply this understanding inside and outside an ESL classroom. In-person and online lectures, discussions, collaborative tasks and projects enable students to study the structures in terms of three interrelated dimensions or domains: form, function, and use as they operate on the sub-sentential, sentential, and discourse levels. Students are expected to demonstrate broad and profound grammatical knowledge as they engage both in written and oral scholarly discourse.

This course empowers pre-service teachers to become adept at integrating technology into their instructional practice. It will delve into both established and emerging advancements, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT), exploring their potential to enhance student learning outcomes. Through a variety of engaging, learner-centered activities, the pre-service teachers will strengthen their Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) by leveraging traditional and emerging technologies in subject-specific applications, designing human-centered learning experiences by creating adaptable and innovative solutions and promoting positive and responsible technology use to address educational concerns in diverse learning contexts. By the end, they will be prepared to design, develop, implement and assess technology-integrated lessons and instructional materials, ensuring they thrive in today’s dynamic educational landscape.
