Greetings from Mount Holyoke College Professional and Graduate Education!
Applications will be closing soon for our summer courses. Please tell your university students and teachers of English and forward the attached and description below.
Summer 2014 MHC Online courses
Courses open to university students from around the world. International university students who want to increase their reading and writing skills may be particularly interested in The Hunger Games, as it is actually a first-year English seminar course. Students considering a transfer to a US university, or who just want to experience taking a course with a US university professor, will benefit from these courses taught by US university professors for college credit. See also, Social Psychology and Chinese Hollywood.
Teaching English as a Foreign Language: Current Issues and Best Practices
A combination online and two-week residential course for English language teachers at international schools. The online phase provides instruction of current best practices in teaching English, followed by a two week stay at our campus that offers exposure to US university classrooms and culture, excursions to Boston and other locations.
Please share these materials with students and English teachers in your network and do not hesitate to respond with your comments about the relevance of these courses to your constituents. Please also visit (and like!) our Facebook page, where you will see information about our summer courses offered in various formats: classroom, online and study abroad. Thank you.
Teaching English as a Foreign Language: Current Issues and Best Practices
A four-credit course taught for 3 weeks online, combined with a two-week residential component on the beautiful Mount Holyoke College campus in a comprehensive study program including classroom practice, room, meals and all excursions and program activities.
Online July 8-26, 2014
The first part of the course will be delivered online, so the focus will be on reading and writing about current best practices in English language teaching. Students will form as a learning community and will begin supporting each other by drawing on their experiences to share effective strategies for teaching English across different cultures.
Residential Seminar: July 27- Aug 9, 2014
All participants will travel to the US and live on the Mount Holyoke College campus to continue their coursework 4 mornings a week. The rest of the time, they will work on homework and group projects and increase their cultural knowledge by attending other college classes, participating in recreational activities and enjoying excursions to Boston and other local attractions.
Online August 10-13, 2014
After the participants leave the campus, they will complete and submit their final assignments through the online course site to be eligible to receive course credit, which can be transferred to other educational institutions.
