Oktober 2015 In this course students will study how first, second and foreign languages are learned in order to understand the fundamentals of foreign language teaching. The theories and models of language learning and language acquisition will be explored in relation to students’ future profession as EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers. The overarching goal is to foster future EFL teachers understanding of language learning as well as awareness and skills in evaluating and reflecting their own language teaching. Students will study first language acquisition theories and learn to distinguish between learning and acquisition processes. They will explore to what extent theories of first language acquisition can be transferred to second or foreign language learning settings, and in which way individual learner characteristics have an effect on successful second language learning. Additionally, students will reflect on how these theories of learning and language learning influence teaching and learning settings in school. Students are required to prepare for as well as actively contribute to each session. More specific course requirements will be announced in the first seminar session, i.e. attendance of the first meeting is mandatory. Students are required to obtain the following textbook (2013 version, no older version!) for this course: Lightbown, P. M., & Spada, N. (2013). How Languages are Learned. Oxford: OUP.

Participants will develop an overview and understanding of theoretical as well as practical issues regarding foreign language teaching in German school contexts. The programme of study will touch upon the following issues and more: the history and politics of TEFL, teaching the language skills and subskills, differentiation, the role of media (course books, literature, film, Internet, mobile media, etc.) in the FL classroom, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), culture and language learning. Students are required to prepare for as well as actively contribute to each session.

Modul AN-8: Epochs of Literary History in English Lennartz, N.: Literature and Culture in the Age of Shakespeare 31081 Beginn: 20. Oktober 2015 Di 8-10 Q 015 This series of lectures is meant to be an introduction into the work of Shakespeare, into the Elizabethan culture which was situated on the threshold of the Middle Ages and burgeoning modernity. While Shakespeare stuck to medieval ideas of gender and believed in the existence of demons, ghosts and witches, he also seemed to be painfully aware of impending cultural changes (the decline of the theatres) and of revolutions which were looming large in the not too distant future. Next to in-depth-analyses of key works, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello and the "sugared" Sonnets, the lecture series will contextualise Shakespeare's dramatic and poetic work in the literary and cultural history of his time. A few comments on the works of his contemporaries, John Donne, Christopher Marlowe or Ben Jonson, will as readily be provided as a few glimpses into the history of the arts, from which Shakespeare's works cannot be separated. Further Reading: Jonathan Bate, The Genius of Shakespeare, 2008 Stephen Greenblatt, Will in the World. How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare, 2005 Ina Schabert (ed.) Shakespeare Handbuch, 2009 Stanley Wells, Shakespeare, Sex and Love, 2010 Hausmann, M.: This Maddening Existence: Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead 31082 KW-5.1 Mo 16-18 E 034 Di 10-12 E 034 Beginn: 19. Oktober 2015, 20. Oktober 2015 There are two Shakespearean quotes that are frequently cited: “To be, or not to be,” (Hamlet III.1, 55) and “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances.” (As You Like It II.7, 139-141) Both quotes are acutely relevant to Shakespeare’s Hamlet and its twentieth-century adaptation Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead because they not only address central issues of human existence such as identity, fate, and self-determination but they also put into question the relations between art and reality, madness and reason. This course (taught in English!!!) will conduct a close reading of both plays in relation to their respective production and reception contexts, theatrical codes, and various performances on stage and in film, with particular emphasis on different cultural evaluations of identity, insanity, and existential issues. Required Reading: Students are expected to get a copy of the Arden Hamlet (2005) and Faber Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1973) editions, and to have read the plays by the first session of the course!

Jahn, D.: Re-Directing Shakespeare: Film Adaptations of The Tempest and The Taming of the Shrew 31082 Mo 18-20 E 034 Beginn: 19. Oktober 2015 “Don’t bother to brush up on your Shakespeare when you go to see Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in The Taming of the Shrew” (Bosley Crowther on Franco Zeffirelli’s 1966 version of The Taming of the Shrew). In contrast to Crowther’s suggestion, this course does indeed require students to ‘brush up’ on their Shakespeare, particularly on The Taming of the Shrew (1590) and his final work The Tempest (1611), so as to better understand the films. After a short introduction to film analysis, different filmic versions of these two plays will be discussed both as works in their own right and in comparison to the original texts. Required books: rd Shakespeare, William. The Taming of the Shrew. Ed. Barbara Hodgdon. 3 series. London: Arden Shakespeare, 2010. Shakespeare, William. The Tempest. Eds. Virginia M. and Alden T. Vaughan. 3 series. London: Arden Shakespeare, 2011. rd Further texts will be made available on stud.ip. Schmidt, O.: Negotiating Gender in Early Modern Poetry 31082 KW-5.2 Do 8-10 N 01 Beginn: 22. Oktober 2015 The seminar's primary aim is to read William Shakespeare's texts alongside modern approaches of gender. The fact that Lady Macbeth desires to overcome her sex – "unsex me here" (Macbeth, I.v,39) – in order to come closer to a violent 'masculine ideal' does not only account for certain early modern ideas about sex (and gender). Lady Macbeth's transgressing desire is also conducive to the idea of reading Shakespeare's texts as a 'place' where cultural knowledge concerning sex (and gender) is represented and where gender-negotiations are made. The texts which the seminar will focus on include (predominantly) Shakespeare's poetry: the sonnets, Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, etc. Students are expected to give an oral presentation and to write a 'Seminararbeit' at the end of the semester.

Modul AN-9 NEU: Foundations of Language Teaching Methodology Möbus, B.: Action-based language teaching: Objectives, methods, approaches (Zusatzveranstaltung, offen für Studierende, die die zusätzlichen 3 CP nachweisen müssen 31091 Do 16-18 E 035 Beginn: 22. Oktober 2015 ‘Gamification’ (= using game elements to motivate and engage learners) is becoming an increasingly popular concept in modern language teaching. Today's ‘digital natives’ have grown up with video games and forms of game-immanent reward (e.g. points, badges, leaderboards, etc.). Although games have long been part of a teacher's bag of tricks, game elements (≠ games) and game-immanent rewards seem to be a new phenomenon, which can also be beneficially used in the EFL-classroom. In this course we will theoretically explore the motivational fundament of language learning and practically explore methods to adequately and successfully ‘gamify’ English lessons. Modul AN-10: Advanced Language Skills 6 AP Rudzinski,{ XE "Rudzinski, K." } K.: Discussion and Debate 31101 Di 10-12 Q 114 Beginn: 20.

Studiengang Master of Education Modul ANM-1: English for Teachers: Linguistic and Didactic Dimensions N.N.: Analysing and Reflecting Classroom Interaction 31511 Mo 14-16 N 09 Beginn: s. Stud.IP Details to be announced. Jöckel, A.: Analysing and Reflecting Classroom Interaction 31511 Di 14-16 J 01 Beginn: 20. Oktober 2015 Learning about literature is an established part of foreign language teaching and learning both for primary and secondary learners. Literature offers joyful and enriching worlds for those who read. Thereby, reading requires not only being able to decipher letters, but also accessing aesthetic and cultural aspects of written language. In this course, we will think about competences of readers for accessing literature. Additionally, we will find appropriate literature to deal with at different learning stages of EFL classes as well as criteria for how to pick the right literature for your learner group. Different methodological approaches of how to teach literature in a varying way will be discussed and tried out in the seminar. Requirements will be announced in the first seminar session, i.e. attendance is mandatory. Modul ANM-1: English for Teachers: Linguistic and Didactic Dimensions Modul ANM-2: Exercises in Text Analysis and Text Production for Teachers of English ALT Schubert, C.{ XE "Schubert, C." }: English-German Contrastive Linguistics 31512 NEU 31521 ALT Do 14-16 Q 111 Beginn: 22. Oktober 2015 In this class we will investigate similarities and – more importantly – differences between the two West Germanic languages English and German. The focus will be on the present state of the two languages, but historical developments will be taken into account as well (cf. language typology: analytic vs. synthetic languages). The two languages can be contrasted on the levels of phonetics/phonology (e.g. phonemes: sand vs. Sand), morphology/word-formation (e.g. number: the beautiful green trees vs. die schönen grünen Bäume), syntax/grammar (e.g. word order: Do you like ... vs. Magst Du ...), lexicology/semantics (e.g. ‘false friends’: gift vs. Gift), and pragmatics (e.g. politeness). The central aim is to create an awareness of English-German contrasts, which enables teachers to explain interference processes in the language production of EFL learners.

PJM: Betreuung des Projektbandes im Fach Englisch Wilden, E.:Preparing and planning school-based action research (Vorbereitung Projektband im Fach Englisch) PJM-1.2 Mi 8-10 E 034 Beginn: 21. Oktober 2015 In this course students will learn how to conduct a small-scale action research project as part of their five-month school internship starting in February. Students will first develop a fundamental understanding of researching foreign language learning (such as questioning, observing or testing). This part of the course will be largely based on film material that supports students’ understanding of EFL research in conjunction with their course readings. Students will proceed by learning how to develop their own action-research study (by developing a research question and research design, analyzing the data, reporting the results and implementing findings in the school context). A significant part of the course will allow for hands-on experimenting with students’ research ideas. At the end of the course students will have an approximate plan for conducting their schoolbased action research projects which will be further developed and implemented during the summer term. More specific course requirements will be announced in the first seminar session, i.e. attendance of the first meeting is mandatory. Jahn, D.: Methoden und Techniken literaturwissenschaftlichen Arbeitens (Vorbereitung Projektband im Fach Englisch) PJM-1.2 Mi 16-18 Q 111 Beginn: 21.

Students will be required to present their schoolbased action research results in a form depending on the nature of their projects. Thus, individual planning and consulting with the university mentor are indispensable throughout the term. Specific course requirements will be announced in the first seminar session.

Students will extend their understanding of the fundamental principles of (foreign) language learning and teaching acquired in the BA. More importantly, they will further develop their practical teaching skills by experimenting with common TEFL methods, ideas and concepts. A significant part of the course will be dedicated to students’ microteachings, hands-on analysis of various lesson videos and other matters of day-to-day foreign language teaching in the primary/secondary classroom. Also, there will plenty of space for students’ questions and needs at this stage of their professional development in order to allow for a confident start into the internship. More specific course requirements will be announced in the first seminar session, i.e. attendance of the first meeting is mandatory.
