Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Literature, in its myriads of formats and genres, can be a staple resource in a contemporary communicative EFL classroom. However, simply throwing books at young learners without any consideration of aims, methods and expected outcomes is not the way to go about it. This course will focus on a principled (but no less joyful) approach to using contemporary literary materials (in a wider sense) at all stages of the EFL classroom.
At the end of this term, students will be able to
- reflect on their own experiences with literature as English learners and compare their beliefs about teaching literature with the available research
- get to know recent literary texts that have potential for English language education
- select aims, materials and methods in accordance with the above and create engaging activities
Methods: readings and discussions, video book review, creative writing exercise, pair/group work for lesson plans and presentations
