Faculty Development Programme: Teaching a Foreign Language Through Innovative Pedagogical Approaches
Description
In today’s world of digital learning environment, foreign language teaching requires a shift from traditional grammar-translation methods to learner-centred, interactive, and context-driven pedagogies. Rapid developments in educational technology, changing learner profiles, and the growing emphasis on communicative competence demand that language educators continuously update their teaching strategies.
This Faculty Development Programme (FDP) aims to provide language teachers with exposure to innovative pedagogical approaches that enhance learner engagement, communicative ability, and intercultural awareness. The programme focuses on practical classroom strategies such as task-based learning, communicative language teaching, use of digital tools, multimodal resources, authentic materials, and culturally responsive pedagogy.
The FDP will bring together experienced teachers to share best practices, classroom-tested methods, and research-informed approaches for teaching foreign languages effectively in higher education contexts. The participants of this FDP will be encouraged to critically reflect on their own teaching practices and explore ways to redesign language courses to meet contemporary academic and professional needs.
Overall, the FDP seeks to strengthen pedagogical competence, promote innovation in language classrooms, and contribute to improved learning outcomes in foreign language education.
