This course enlarges upon selected topics of the Grundkurs (“Introduction to TEFL”), and applies them to classroom practice. Issues such as dealing with heterogeneity and facilitating communicative competence are linked with teaching methods and techniques. The course also covers related practical topics such as lesson planning and classroom management skills.
Students are expected to attend class regularly and to participate actively, which includes a presentation (“Impulsreferat,” approx.10 minutes, with handout). The term paper (Hausarbeit - requirements to be found in the style sheet) can be written either in this course or in the first part of the Basismodul.
Focus areas: This course covers a variety of aspects of teaching English as a foreign language to young learners, putting special emphasis on using stories and songs in the EFL classroom. Moreover, participants will be introduced to lesson planning.
