Dersin Amacı

This course aims to develop teachers’ knowledge and understanding of the language systems by getting students familiarizing with the various dimensions of Language Awareness (LA). Throughout the process, the emphasis will be placed on the function of LA in the field of language education, and its relationships with other concepts will be closely analyzed.

Dersin İçeriği

Although, Language Awareness (LA) is defined and interpreted divergently in different environments due to the different dimensions it has, Thornbury (1997: x) defines it as ‘the knowledge that teachers have of the underlying systems of the language that enables them to teach effectively’. In this course, therefore, the definitions of LA are analyzed and their relation to language teaching will be explored. The terms such as implicit & explicit learning will be handled and through it, different approaches to language teaching will be discussed. The terms including consciousness, awareness, noticing etc. are dealt with and their various relations to the field of ELT will be taught. Language Awareness will be approached as a holistic discipline, and particularly its cognitive side will be highlighted.
