• How can I make my students read full-blown narrative texts (= books) and help them become passionate and competent readers?
• How can I integrate what I love (prerequisite: you must love stories) in my teaching and create my own teaching materials?
• How can I define teaching aims, make use of existing materials and methods and create pedagogically convincing lesson plans?
• How can I implement narrative texts in tests & revisions, Matura and grading?
• How can I use storytelling to not only develop students’ language skills but also contribute to their personal development into open-minded, critical and responsible people interested in the world, culture, history, and politics?
...!Class will also be very practice oriented!Methods: lecturer input, group interaction, readings + discussions, pair work, student presentations, trying things out ourselves, if possible: teaching practice in a school
