Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

According to the MA Lehramt/English curriculum, the language learning aims for this degree are:

  • the ability to use the English language in various situations spanning a wide breadth of topics in an appropriate manner based on context and audience;
  • advanced language competences as evidenced by students being able to engage in autonomous planning regarding improvement of their language skills; and
  • the ability to take into account special requirements regarding their future career, especially as this relates to subject-specific language competences. 

The language and content aims for this course are:

  • an in-depth understanding of the most relevant and important theories and methods in core linguistic areas and application areas and
  • the ability to analyze language with linguistic methods and apply research findings to relevant specialist/professional areas

(translated/adapted from the MA Lehramt curriculum by course instructor; see curriculum for German original)

Course content

As part of the M.A. Lehramt/English program, this course addresses the advanced theoretical and practical knowledge of the standards and concepts related to communicative language competences (linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic). This course will examine in detail the advanced stages of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) with the aim of helping students assess and improve their own linguistic and communicative competences.

Students will design and complete advanced-level tasks in listening, reading, speaking, and writing, all of which should show an advanced mastery of grammar and vocabulary.

The first part of this course will be for students to plan appropriate assessments for themselves and peers to complete by the end of the course. Included in this planning will be a consideration of the student’s self-assessed current communicative language competences; based on this assessment, an achievable plan for improvement will be created.

Literature

All materials will be made available to students on Moodle.
