Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

TITEL: ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES
By the end of this course, students will have a detailed overview of theoretical and practical issues surrounding the teaching of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). We will address all aspects of ESP teaching methodology (approach, design, procedure) and the linguistic analyses underlying and relevant to the teaching of ESP (in particular with regard to materials analysis and development). Specific attention will be given to the role of genre and genre-based teaching in ESP, as well as to digital media (including VR) in ESP.

Assessment and permitted materials

All three parts have to be completed and passed

1) Short tasks and in-class participation (25 points)
2) ESP teaching activities including materials development (25 points, in pairs if possible)
3) Academic paper (45 points), including an empirical analysis of pedagogic or linguistic aspects of ESP teaching. Length: 3,500 words.
