Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The contemporary role of English in the world, with its spread into most domains of the public sphere and people's private lives, is bound to raise questions as to how this language should be taught. In this course, we will look critically at current arguments about the development of English as an international language and what various scholars and practitioners have said about implications for teaching.
Assessment and permitted materials
Participants will be assessed on the basis of oral presentations, participation in discussions in the weekly session and a short final essay.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The objective of this course is to familiarize participants with both the relevant theoretical background underlying these issues and their implications for the description of English as well as for language policy and pedagogy.
Examination topics
The focus of this course will be a critical reading of texts dealing with issues on which scholars in linguistics, language teaching and related disciplines take very different positions and attempt to arrive at a balanced perspective on the teaching of English as an international language. The course will be designed to focus on participants' own presentations and class discussion.
Reading list
A short reading list and a reader will be made available to registered participants.
