Um eine gleichmäßige Auslastung dieser Kurse zu gewährleisten, melden Sie sich bitte per Email (silke.stutzke@rz.hu-berlin.de) zu den Seminaren an. Note: This seminar will be offered in combination with the seminar Problemfelder der Praxis – “Learning and Teaching Gender and Sexuality: Task design & reflection.“ What role do gender and sexuality play in the learning and teaching of English as a foreign language? In Germany, very little attention has been paid so far to issues related to gender in the language classroom – a neglect that allows a firm belief in a binary gender system, essentialist conceptions of maleness and femaleness, as well as the marginalization of non-normative gender and sexual identities to remain largely unquestioned in language teaching theory and school practice. In this seminar we will link Gender and Queer Studies with foreign language didactics by investigating cultural constructions of gender as it intersects with sexuality in various fields of language education. We will analyze gender constructions in curricula, textbooks, literary and filmic texts, explore Gender Studies as a topical area in foreign language classrooms as well as in teacher education, and explore approaches that attempt to tackle sexism and heteronormativity resp. homo- and transphobia in and through EFL teaching. Finally, participants will discuss tasks for the English classroom that have the potential of providing opportunities for learning experiences with regard to notions of gender and sexuality and which can facilitate the development of reflective self-concepts and emancipated personalities of language learners. A course syllabus as well as required primary and secondary literature will be provided in a Moodle course under www.moodle.hu-berlin.de. |
