TESL Methodology-II provides pre-service training to assist teacher trainees to develop skills in teaching English as a second/foreign language. Current theories on second language acquisition are examined and major TESL approaches are presented. While ESL Methodology-I covers historical review of the field of study and TESL Methodology-II focuses on practical techniques to teach ESL/EFL language skills.
