This module aims to introduce the students to the basic principles and procedures of course and materials design. Specifically, it helps them to become able to analyse, evaluate, adapt and develop materials for specified learners and contexts. Through experiential approaches, the students will be given opportunities to reflect upon their subconscious beliefs about learning and teaching, to articulate the principles behind teaching and materials and to critically appreciate the relevant literature on language learning, teaching and materials development. This module will also explore various ways of needs/wants analysis and designing a course. As outcomes, the students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge, awareness and skills in developing materials for any specific learners and contexts with clear objectives and appropriate methodology, justifying the use of effective texts and methodology for language learning and educational development and articulating the principles behind teaching and materials.
