Intended learning outcomes

Kursteilnehmer*innen lernen:

- Unterrichtsplanung in mehrsprachigen Lernsettings

- dafür relevante didaktische und pädagogische Konzepte kennen

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

Solange es nötig ist, wird der Kurs über BBB stattfinden. Abhängig von der Teilnehmer*innenzahl ist angedacht, 2 Gruppen zu bilden, um Diskussionen und Reflektionen auch online gewährleisten zu können.

Course content

Obwohl die sprachliche Diversität an Österreichs Schulen groß ist und weiter wächst, wird vielerorts noch immer von monolingualen Lerngruppen ausgegangen. Dies ist vor allem für den Fremdsprachenunterricht problematisch. In diesem Kurs sollen daher alternative Sichtweisen und ein zeitgemäßer Umgang mit Mehrsprachigkeit erarbeitet werden.

Kursinhalte:

- Allgemeiner Überblick & Status quo

- Öffentliche Meinungen und politische Diskurse vs. wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse

- Verbindungen zwischen Pädagogik und Didaktik: language pedagogy, educational linguistics, critical applied linguistics

- Mehrsprachigkeits- und Tertiärsprachendidaktik

- Inklusion und Mehrsprachigkeit

- Unterrichten: konkrete Beispiele, Verbindungen zu allgemeinen didaktischen Prinzipien (autonomes Lernen, kooperatives Lernen, aufgabenbasiertes Lernen) und Lehrplänen

Intended learning outcomes

Students will:

- develop concepts of how (not) to teach English in multilingual settings

- become familiar with didactic and pedagogical concepts for teaching English in multilingual classrooms

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

Courses will be held online via BBB as long as it is necessary. Depending on group size, we may split up into two groups to ensure that discussions and reflections will be possible.

Course content

Although language diversity is on the rise and characteristic for many classrooms in Austria, this fact has not been fully recognized in many places up to now. To assume and take as a norm monolingual learners is particularly problematic in foreign language classes. In this course we will, therefore, work out alternative ways of thinking and dealing with multilingualism in constructive ways.

Course contents:

- Topic overview & status quo

- Common sense beliefs, public opinion and politics vs. scientific findings

- Linking pedagogy and didactics: language pedagogy, educational linguistics, critical applied linguistics

- The Didactics of Multilingualism

- Inclusion and Multilingualism

- Teaching: concrete examples, creating links to general didactical principles (learner autonomy, cooperative learning, task-based learning)
