English language teaching in action

To bridge the gap between subject knowledge and pedagogic knowledge, a DVD entitled "English Language Teaching in Action" was produced. The DVD captured three different lessons which focused on three different skill areas, namely grammar, reading and speaking. Through viewing these lessons, interviews with the teachers involved and the commentary given by the ELT expert from the Department of Education Studies, Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), and the in-depth in-class discussions, student-teachers could examine some current ELT issues in detail and could think of some effective strategies to tackle the ELT-related problems and to facilitate effective learning and teaching in the English classroom.
