Abstract

Dual specialties in the field of training teachers for the secondary educational context in Bulgaria are attracting a growing number of students due to the increased employment opportunities for the graduates. Current paper is dedicated to the challenges and some practical solutions in designing curricula in methodology for will-be teachers of biology in English at Sofia University. The focus is on the specific solutions, based on the available E-learning System, to encompass the two fields of science and humanities as different as biology and a foreign language in methodology disciplines. What is introduced is a set of core and elective disciplines in the field of language teaching methodology, designed with the attempt to build upon the respective disciplines in biology teaching methodology. Three types of activities are presented, related to: introducing new material (face-to-face), practice (self-paced online learning) and assessment. Special attention is paid to the instructions formulated for the blended-learning context and their specifics in the case of each type of activity. Initial student response to the activities is discussed, based on preliminary data of an on-going action research.
