How do the categories of race and racial difference concern us as (future) teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL)? Are EFL theory and research in Germany and internationally concerned with race and racisms, and if they are, what are their contributions to the field as well as to the teaching of EFL? This seminar will tackle these and other questions that are likely to arise by bringing together theoretical approaches to race (Critical Race Theory and Critical Whiteness Studies) and didactic approaches to TEFL as emancipatory, antiracist education (Trans-/Kulturelles Lernen, Critical literacy of race and racism/race literacy). Participants will be introduced to and apply innovative research methodology such as autoethnography, co-constructive writing (Schreibkonferenz) and working with a process portfolio to reflect on and theorize their own situatedness in an inherently racist society as individuals of various backgrounds and as student teachers of English.
A course syllabus as well as required primary and secondary literature will be provided in a Moodle course under www.moodle.hu-berlin.de. |
