Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course offers an overview of recent conceptual, sociolinguistic and descriptive research on English as a lingua franca (ELF). Together, we will review some existing ELF findings, focusing in particular on pragmatic concepts and strategies. We will also discuss potential pedagogical implications that emerging ELF findings might have for school contexts and teacher education.
Throughout the semester, students will work independently on an individual topic. They will either a) analyze ELF data from the Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English (VOICE), a one-million-word corpus of recorded and transcribed real-world ELF interactions, or b) critically analyze and discuss documents related to English language teaching and consider practical implications of ELF for ELT.

Aims:
Students will have an overview of the recent phenomenon, characteristics and terminology related to English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). They are familiar with general topics of ELF research and able to discuss critically what the global spread of English has meant/means for language use and might mean for English Language Teaching.
They are able to carry out a small descriptive and/or applied linguistic research project on ELF based on sound theoretical and methodological background.

N.B.: Presentations will be blocked at a seminar conference on June 3 (14.00-20.00) & June 4 (8.00-14.00).
Attendance during the entire seminar conference is mandatory for course completion!
Weekly sessions will be held until end of May.
