In this course students will not only identify and work upon improving their own grammatical weaknesses, but will also look at how developing grammatical competence and language ability in the classroom will require teachers to look at the problems real pupils have when acquiring grammar. Students will investigate the various causes and types of errors made in the spoken and written output of pupils attending German schools and consider how to adapt grammatical input they provide as teachers to various types of learners and learner levels. Key concerns throughout the course will be how to teach grammatical competence, how to make assessments of language ability as valid and reliable as possible, and how to develop and structure feedback strategies to enable pupils to learn from grammatical errors.
Interested students should register using the MA Education Sprachpraxis Registration Form available on the departmental website / Abteilung Applied Language Studies. Deadline: 02.04.2020 |
