- REDLIN: The curtain rises - teaching drama in the EFL classroom
There are those in education who believe that plays are currently on their way out of the English language classroom. The already overflowing curricula and syllabi don't explicitly mention teaching drama anyway, and the textbooks seem to favour different types of texts altogether. For language teachers, time is obviously of the essence since there are so many competencies to foster and so many cross-sectional goals to meet. Teaching drama takes time. So the questions remains: Why teach drama?
In this course we will explore contemporary British and American plays suitable for the English classroom and find out about methods and activities to teach them. This includes acting out and learning how to create a safe environment to do so. Be prepared to read three plays, among them Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany. All in all, let's work towards the goal to offer drama a way back into the classroom, so that, at the end of term, we will all be able to say with conviction: Drama is very much alive and teaching plays fosters every competency imaginable in a contemporary foreign language classroom.
And when the curtain falls, there will be a written exam at the end of term.
PAULSEN: Teaching speaking in the digital age
One of the guiding principles for teaching English at German secondary schools in Schleswig-Holstein, as stated in the Fachanforderungen Englisch, is that learners should have as much speaking time in class as possible. But how can learners be supported effectively in the acquisition of speaking competence? And what are the goals of teaching speaking? In this course, we will address these questions by looking at important research findings relating to cognitive and emotional factors influencing the acquisition process, by analyzing characteristics of spoken language and the different components of speaking competence, and by discussing methodological approaches to teaching speaking. In this discussion, we will put a particular focus on the opportunities provided by digital media and tools to promote learners’ fluency and accuracy when speaking English and to create speaking activities that reflect learners’ speaking practices in the digital age. Participants will get the opportunity to apply their new knowledge by evaluating and creating their own learning materials. The Prüfungsleistung will be a final written exam.
HORN: Teaching Extensive Reading in the EFL Classroom
This class will examine the approach of extensive reading - according to which students students read as many self-selected English texts as possible without much guidance in order to develop their reading and language skills.
To this purpose, we will look at the theory of extensive reading, appropriate reading strategies, the role of reading motivation, criteria for reading selection and the evaluation of practical examples. The aim of this class is to develop ways of integrating extensive reading into EFL lessons for different grades.
Assessment is by means of a written exam.
HOLT: Teaching Writing as a 21st Century Skill
Writing is a fundamental skill for communication, learning, critical thinking, and self-expression, not only in academic essays or professional settings but also for everyday interactions on social media. In this course, we explore the current role of writing for teaching English as a foreign language and discuss strategies, approaches and frameworks aimed at fostering this communicative competence in the 21st century. Built around theoretical discussions and practical activities, we explore key components of how to teach writing, including the different stages of the writing process, the importance of genres as well as an awarness for the target audience, and how to give constructive feedback to students during their writing. We will also discuss the impact of technology on writing and how digital tools, from word processors, grammar and spell checkers to Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, have shaped and continue to shape modern writing practices. Moving from theory discussions to classroom practice, we then apply our knowledge to the teaching of writing in English, with a special emphasis on creating adaptable materials using Open Educational Resources (OERs).
At the end of the course students will have gained a deeper understanding of writing and practical skills as to how to design writing tasks, assess texts, and integrate digital tools into teaching practices. Whether you are interested in the theory of writing, practical teaching strategies, or the impact of technology, this course will equip you with a comprehensive foundation for teaching writing in the EFL classroom.
PAULSEN: "Somesing to sink about!" Teaching English Pronunciation
Why does pronunciation matter in foreign language teaching and learning? How can teachers select models and define targets and norms in pronunciation teaching? Which factors influence the pronunciation of a foreign language? Which specific problems do German learners encounter when they learn to speak English? Which methods and tools are useful to teach pronunciation? These questions are at the heart of this course whose aim is threefold: First of all, students will be able to outline and critically reflect on the discussion in the literature about the relevance of pronunciation teaching and about appropriate models, targets and norms. Secondly, students will be able to detect, describe and analyze typical pronunciation problems and identify possible causes. Thirdly, they will be able to create material for learning and teaching pronunciation. The Prüfungsleistung will be a final written exam.
Participants are asked to review their knowledge of phonetics and phonology before the start of the course. We will use the following coursebook, which is recommended for purchase:
Schmitt, H. (2016). Teaching English pronunciation. A textbook for the German-speaking countries. Winter.
