WiSe 19/20: Entwicklung, Forschung und Evaluation, Variante 1: ohne Vorbereitung MA-Arbeit
Michaela Sambanis
Kommentar
The focus of this seminar is the professional activity of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL), considered both theoretically (as an object of investigation) and practically (as it is realized in the classroom). From the perspective of Performative Didactics, the course covers selected issues in teaching English as a foreign language. Performative Didactics is defined as an approach that emphasizes embodied learning and draws on techniques and processes from the performing arts, in particular from theater.
The course gives insight into relevant studies (didactic & neuroscientific findings), and other scholarly publications. These will be critically discussed by the participants together with the lecturer, and linked to theoretical foundations, to the current body of knowledge, and to practical considerations. Drawing on this broad base of knowledge, students will be encouraged to reflect on their own conceptions and beliefs about the EFL-classroom, and on choices and actions as decisive factors of their professional expertise.
Students are expected to attend class regularly and to participate actively, which includes a presentation ("Referat (ca. 10 Minuten) mit Ausarbeitung (ca. 5 Seiten)").
Focus areas: Performative Didactics; research from didactics, neuroscience and other sister disciplines.
