<h1>Training the Teachers of the Future: Language Policy and Literacy at CPUT</h1>
<br>
<div class="gmail-projecttop">
<div class="gmail-projectdescription">
<p></p><p>This project involves two components:</p>
<p>The first one is to develop and implement <strong>an adapted, integral and</strong> <strong>tailor-made Language Policy for the CPUT Faculty of Education</strong>,
by using a specific methodology, namely teaching in a
language-developing way. This policy focuses on language skills in the
broadest sense of the word, it is integrated in the curriculum of study
programmes and is therefore both durable and inclusive. The project will
also develop lecturer competence in integrating discipline-specific
language skills into content and using technology in their teaching. The
final purpose is to prepare teacher training students to use these
insights in their own professional future as they are the teachers to
be.</p>
<p>The second one will focus on <strong>reading skills of teacher training students</strong>
(and hence indirectly on those of their future pupils or students), as a
lack of (English) reading proficiency is one of the major problems
encountered by CPUT students. A thorough needs analysis followed by
action research involving the setting up and implementation of a reading
programme will enhance teacher training reading skills and enable them
to set up integrated reading activities in their future classrooms.</p></div></div></div></div>
