Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Contents: This interactive course will familiarize future teachers of English with the latest information on the requirements of the New Matura in Austria and with the guidelines for writing and supervising a VWA (pre-academic paper). In particular the range of topics AHS students are expected to deal with at their final oral exams will be introduced and critically assessed in the context of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). On the basis of these instructions and guidelines the participants are expected to propose individually literary texts suitable for teaching in the AHS classroom in the given framework defined by the BMBF (Austrian Ministry of Education). Each participant is required to send in a proposal of a literary text by March 24, and to do a presentation on the selected literary work in class (either individually or as a member of a group) at the appointed date.
