Below is a description of the weekly assignments: TESOL Pedagogy Journal The purpose of the TESOL Pedagogy Journal is to connect theory to practice and to begin to build your own instructional toolkit. In each journal entry you will identify three things: 1) one theory or concept from the unit, 2) one practice or strategy related to the theory or concept you identified, and 3) one example of that practice or strategy in practice with a brief description or link to an example. The journal entry will be completed in the form of a word table in a shared Google document. All journal entries should be completed 24 hours before class time the week that it is due. The entries are due between weeks 2 and 14. The entries are credit/no credit. The content of the journals will be used as pre-activity to class discussion. Your instructor will provide formative feedback on your first journal entry, and do two mid-point checks after weeks 6 and 12. This assignment is credit/no credit and good faith efforts to apply the content to language teaching will receive full credit.
