This 3-credit elective course offers students an opportunity to experience English language tutorials related to writing, speaking, and other language development and improvement skills. In a seminar format with the course instructor, students 1) learn about tutoring theories and one-on-one and/or small group tutoring strategies, 2) practice tutoring, and 3) critique each other’s tutorials. Students who are interested to continue accruing their tutoring experience may elect to take Introduction to English Language Tutoring II as an extension of Introduction to English Language Tutoring I. Introduction to English Language Tutoring I is not a prerequisite of Introduction to English Language Tutoring II, and students may enrol in one or both semesters of this course depending on the number of credits they wish to earn. Students are not required to take these two courses in sequence.
