Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course is intended for advanced students of English/Lehramt (UFE). Students will be asked to screen all the textbooks approved for teaching English at Austrian grammar schools (AHS-Oberstufe) for works of English literature, and to propose alternative options or a supplementary corpus of literary texts suitable for classroom teaching, notably in view of future "A-level" requirements ("Zentralmatura"). In addition, a range of texts from different genres will be offered to students in order to critically assess these texts' didactic potentials for teaching in the advanced ESL classroom (reference frame will be the current curriculum at Austrian AHS).

Assessment and permitted materials

Requirements: Regular attendance; active participation in all discussions in class; home-assignments, one presentation per participant (PPT, max.15 mins per speaker); final exam to be written in class (consisting of an essay and a set of questions), which requires in-depth knowledge of all the primary texts and of the topics discussed in class.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Aims: To provide future teachers of English with current teaching materials and guidelines for teaching Anglophone literature in the ESL classroom; to offer didactic and literary criteria for selecting literary texts for the purpose of teaching English (for advanced learners); to enhance students' interpretative skills, to explore jointly with the students the hermeneutic and didactic potential of a contextualized reading of literary works; to enhance students' proficiency in oral and written English; to widen students' teaching- and (computer-aided) presentation skills.

Examination topics

Interactive, computer-aided teaching with students' PPT-presentations, combined with plenum discussions; group-work; communication and exchange of information will be facilitated by the use of the e-learning platform "Moodle".

Reading list

A "Reader" containing the texts discussed in class will be provided; it can be purchased from the Copy-Studio (Schwarzspanierstraße 10) from 12 March.
