In general, a language teaching practicum gives  teacher learners the opportunity to put into practice the concepts they have been studying academically in their coursework. Usual features of a teaching practicum include supervised teaching practice, guided reflection on practice, observation of peer teacher learners and other teachers, and being observed by supervisors. The SLS 690 practicum  includes all of those, plus a feature intended to give teacher learners even greater learning opportunity: a location away from familiar settings, where they can extend their teaching repertoire beyond their previous accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/sls\/courses\/teaching-in-thailand-the-sls-graduate-practicum-betsy-gilliland-phd-sls-associate-professor\/\">For more information, click here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nWritten by Betsy Gilliland, PhD (SLS Associate Professor) The teaching practicum is a common feature of language teacher education programs, and the Department of Second Language Studies has been a leader in running practicums and conducting research on them for&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/sls\/teaching-in-thailand-the-sls-graduate-practicum\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Teaching in Thailand: The SLS Graduate Practicum&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/sls\/teaching-in-thailand-the-sls-graduate-practicum\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Teaching in Thailand: The SLS Graduate Practicum&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7154,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[30,57],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 -
