Abstract

The course is designed to enhance students' knowledge of the theory of teaching foreign languages in various contexts and skills of putting the obtained knowledge into practice. An in-depth look is taken into the teacher’s competences in terms of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), the Cambridge English Teaching Framework, and the Russian Federal Standards. The course revises and presents a new focus on approaches to teaching foreign languages, course and lesson planning, materials design, and assessment. Due attention is paid to how to diversify students' teaching equipment depending on the educational context, including learners' proficiency level, learner's needs and tools of assessment of learners' achievements. Emphasis is placed on teaching English and other foreign languages to adults, specifically college and university level students.
