- Abstract
The significance of the speaking skills curriculum within the English Education Program at tertiary institutions is pivotal in equipping prospective English language educators with comprehensive mastery of both linguistic components and pedagogical practices. The present study endeavors to evaluate the alignment of lesson plans from the courses “Speaking for Academic Purposes 2” and “Speaking for General Communication 1” with the predetermined learning objectives as outlined by the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for levels B1 and B2. Adopting a qualitative research paradigm, data were gleaned from an examination of CEFR documents (B1 and B2) relative to the lesson plans and associated course tasks, in conjunction with classroom observations. The findings suggest that the lesson plans adequately cover the necessary linguistic aspects and pedagogical practices required for English language teacher candidates. Furthermore, multiple teaching strategies implemented in the Speaking courses were highlighted. Nevertheless, observations revealed that feedback sessions were less effective due to limited time and the large number of students. To compensate, the use of video-based discussion tools was introduced, ensuring each student received feedback, albeit with some delay.
