Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The use of English as medium of instruction in tertiary education has become popular practice in mainland Europe. This reflects the roles English has come to play as leading academic language, on the one hand, and, on the other, as wide-spread lingua franca, i.e. only common language lecturers and international students share. This pragmatic language choice results in teachers and learners constructing their educational talk in a language which comes second or third in their linguistic repertoires, thus having potential implications not only on classroom discourse, but also on group and individual learning processes.
This course will involve studying various aspects of how English is used in such an educational setting by analysing an existing data-base of tertiary classroom ELF talk recorded in an international hotel management programme.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participants will be assessed on the basis of their oral presentations, active participation in discussions and written research papers.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The participants will get to know ELF and its use in education, reflect on its socio- and applied linguistic status and pedagogical implications as well as practise discourse analytic methods.

Examination topics

The first sessions will be used to introduce the participants to (a) English as a lingua franca in education and (b) the analysis of classroom discourse. The second phase of the course is reserved for individual project work, aspects of which will be discussed in the weekly meetings. During the final phase, the participants will present their projects and findings in oral presentations and written research papers
