In this course, students will reflect upon and practise teaching ‘cultural competence’ in the English classroom. They will take a hands-on approach to devising, implementing and evaluating their own teaching units with a cultural bias for different levels of the school curriculum. In addition to investigating crucial didactic and methodological issues involved when teaching ‘explicit’ and ‘implicit’ dimensions of cultural competence, students will also consider the importance of adjusting their language to different age-levels and levels of ability when developing English-language teaching materials and communicating orally in the classroom.
This course will be taught synchronously and asynchronously.
Interested students should register using the MA Education Sprachpraxis Registration Form available on the departmental website / Abteilung Applied Language Studies. Deadline: 29.10.2020. |
