The Language Awareness course is aimed to assist in improving the quality of teaching through improving the understanding of the English language systems from a teacher's perspective. It invites teachers to look at English from a new angle, often challenging the conventional views on grammar, and revisit and extend their existing knowledge. It encourages a critical analysis of current pedagogical practices adopted in coursebooks and focuses on learners’ language needs and challenges students face when learning a second language.
