Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

In this class the focus is on language education rather than language learning. In other words, attention will be drawn to culture- and identity-related issues and how they may impact language learning processes. Moreover, the aim of this class is to suggest a timely concept for language- and culture-learning in the light of a world increasingly shaped by globalization processes. In terms of content, both literary and non-literary texts will be discussed.

Teaching methodology

This course is project-based with a twin focus on theoretical concepts and concrete examples for classroom use.

Course content

The content of this course may include but is not limited to the following topics: 

  1. Identity construction and language learning;
  2. CLIL-teaching and inter/transcultural learning;
  3. Integrating language and cultural learning;
  4. Helping language teachers become (inter)cultural mediators;
  5. Discussing different paradigms for cultural learning (e.g., inter- and transculturality);
  6. Structuring experiential learning processes; and
  7. Working with literary texts.
