Course Information
Intended learning outcomes
Students are introduced to theoretical and practical issues in foreign language teaching. Research findings from second language acquisition (SLA) and their implications for foreign language teaching are compared with the students' own language learning experience. A brief introduction will be given to some of the main approaches to foreign language teaching. Furthermore, attention will be drawn to ways of teaching pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and the four skills in the context of a language learning pedagogy with a communicative orientation.
Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools
Instructor input, student discussion, student mini-presentations
This course will be conducted via blended-learning. This means there will be some classes when you will need to be present in the classroom, some where you are working on assignments on your own, and some where we are all online together (but not together in the same room). This schedule will be discussed and agreed upon with students insofar as possible. I will be in contact after the admission process (Aufnahmeselektion) is complete with further details.
You should have, at a minimum, a device with a stable internet connection, a microphone, and (should it be needed) a camera. These will facilitate any eLearning sessions in this course.
Course content
(1) Key approaches to SLA;
(2) Communicative language learning/teaching in the 21st century;
(3) Teaching vocabulary and grammar;
(4) Teaching the four skills (reading, writing, listening & speaking);
(5) Content and language integrated learning.
Prior knowledge expected
