Teaching Writing (Course A)
DozentIn: Dr. Katharina Delius
Veranstaltungstyp: Seminar
Ort: 41/B12
Zeiten: Fr. 12:00 - 14:00 (zweiwöchentlich, ab 22.10.2021)
Beschreibung: Being able to write texts in English adequate to contexts, situations and communicative purposes can be regarded as a key competence. However, many learners of the foreign language struggle to effectively combine their ideas and purposes with matching language structures and chunks. The genre-approach combined with different process- and product-oriented methods can help learners on their path to become successful writers.
In this seminar, students will both learn about the theories behind the process of writing and acquire skills to effectively teach writing in the EFL classroom. We will look at a variety of different genres and their written representatives (e.g. cooking recipes, travel blog entries or fairy tales) and how to prepare teaching units focusing on one genre. Students will get the chance to create and evaluate their own teaching material based on various genres of their choice.
Please note that this seminar will take place fortnightly in presence. In between, the students will work on specific learning tasks, the results of which will serve as a basis for the next attendance session.
Credit requirements: Active participation, background reading, completing the take-home learning tasks, planning and presenting a teaching unit in groups plus a written elaboration and reflection (Projektarbeit)
Required reading: A list with secondary texts which students need to prepare in advance for each session will be provided on StudIP.
