Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This module provides an introduction to, and overview of recent educational policy initiatives. It views these initiatives as constituting an important dimension of socio-cultural background knowledge for prospective teachers of English as a Foreign Language. In particular, the module will focus on key policy initiatives in the field of language education in England, such as the National Language Strategy, and explore issues around their implementation. This discussion will be located in a broader international context and the issues will be examined with reference to policy making in Austria as well as the European Union more broadly. Topics will include: the role and status of foreign language learning; English as global/international language; trends concerning European and non-European languages; mobility; monolingualism, multilingualism, plurilingualism; linguistic diversity; global citizenship and a global dimension in education; intercultural education; Primary Modern Foreign Languages. The module will also explore implications of socio-cultural developments for foreign language pedagogy and language teaching and learning materials, for example in relation to Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL).

Assessment and permitted materials

The module will be assessed by way of a piece of coursework in which participants analyse one or more aspects of policy making in England and, where appropriate, compare and contrast it/them to policy in Austria and/or the European Union.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The module aims to:
- develop a critical awareness of educational and language policy
in England within the broader international context; and

relation to developments in other contexts.

Examination topics

Short lectures, reading, interactive discussion, analysis of applications/tools/resources, group work.

Reading list
