PBGS 6337 RESEARCH IN LANGUAGE TEACHER EDUCATION 3 CREDITS

Synopsis

This course aims to introduce the concept of language teachers who not only act as the main manager
who implement the curriculum in the classroom, but teachers act as researchers. As a profession that requires
teachers to act in a professional manner, they have to come with concrete information and data to assist in daily
tasks. Thus the task as a teacher requires them to always be alert to developments both in the classroom or
even the workplace environment. This course will help teachers prepare themselves and researchers to use
these skills in implementing the curriculum and improve the quality of language services as a competent
language teacher throughout their careers.
