Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Contents:
In this class, we will be looking at ways of promoting the reading of literature/culture in the EFL classroom and at the aims and principles underlying such approaches. This exploration will be based on patterns that guide the reading of ‘texts’ (i.e. various kinds of literary and cultural production such as short stories, novels, pop songs, poetry, images, drama, etc.) in a foreign language and will employ a broad range of materials. Students will try out some of these methods during a self-organized visit to an Austrian school classroom.

Aims:
- Students get to know principles and challenges of teaching and reading literature/culture in the EFL classroom.
- Students become aware of the roles of literature and culture in the Austrian school system (school books, curricula, SRP, etc.).
- Students are introduced to a range of texts that can be used in the EFL classroom.
- Students try out methods to teach the reading of literary texts in the EFL classroom.

Methods:
- Group and plenary discussions
- Group and individual presentations
- Micro-teaching
