Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

To be male or female is closely linked to concepts, constructions and representations of being a gendered person and of having a gendered identity. Dominant versions of masculinities and femininities circulate in cultures while they are constantly contested and negotiated. Powerful social norms and social practices form identities from an early age and result in gendered identities that are taken for granted. This class will show that the EFL classroom offers ample opportunities to reflect upon gendered norms, to foster changes in perspective and to consider the role of language in this context. The aim of the course is twofold: first, to learn about new ways and methods on how to sensitise pupils to issues relating to gender in the foreign language classroom and second, to gain teaching experience.
