SoSe 20: Grundlagen der FDE: Gestaltung, Erprobung und Reflexion einer sprachlichen Lernumgebung im Teaching Lab
Christiane Klempin
Comments
This course enlarges upon selected topics of the Grundkurs (“Introduction to TEFL”) and applies them to classroom practice. A literary work of fiction will be approached by means of intercultural, communicative or drama-based language teaching approaches for the purpose of designing and implementing theory-based activities with real language learners at the university. The course, thus, covers aspects such as lesson planning, classroom practice, peer observation, and peer feedback as well as professional self-inquiry and professionalization.
Students are expected to attend class regularly and to participate actively, which includes the design and preparation of learning materials and lesson plans in and outside of class, as well as the involvement in critical self-reflection discussions as part of the Teaching Lab. The topic of the termpaper (“Hausarbeit”) can either be taken from the “Grundkurs”, the first constituent of the “Basismodul”, or preferably from this course, i.e. the “Proseminar”. The paper is to be handed in after successful completion of both module constituents (“Grundkurs & Proseminar”).
Focus areas: The course is part of a research project (by Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung of the BMBF-project “K2Teach-Know how to teach“). Participants will get a chance to explore theory, plan real teaching instructions and explore these instruction plans with real language learners and reflect upon these experiences twice throughout the term.
Literature: Selected literature will be provided by the course instructor C. Klempin and will be made accessible on Blackboard.
Course structure: group work, work in reflecting tandem-pairs, hands-on activities, preparing learning materials and speaking tasks for the Teaching Lab, mini-lectures, microteaching units, post-Teaching Lab-reflective discussions.
