Course format: Please note that the course will be held as a “Blockseminar” (see appointments below). The first appointment will take place online (Webex: https://fu-berlin.webex.com/meet/b.opitz). All subsequent appointments will take place in person.

Course contents: Thematically, the Lehr-Lern-Labor-Seminar will explore the concept of digital competence within the context of foreign language teaching by, for example, analyzing selected instances of “fake news” and their cultural implications. By allowing course-participants to instruct actual language learners from German schools*, this course will focus on the implementation of theoretical concepts into teaching practice and hence provide a valuable addition to the Grundkurs “Introduction to TEFL”. The controlled teaching environment will further offer insights into essential aspects of teaching such as lesson planning, classroom practice, peer observation, and peer feedback. Regular attendance and active participation are required.

Focus areas: The Lehr-Lern-Labor-Seminar 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 B. Opitz and will be made accessible on Blackboard.

Course structure: group work, work in tandem-pairs, preparing learning materials and various tasks for the Teaching Lab, mini-lectures, microteaching units, post-Teaching Lab-reflective discussions.

*Due to current circumstances, teaching labs with actual students could be replaced by simulations with course participants.
