Comments
This seminar addresses the role multilingualism can play in English teaching, offering strategies for including students' linguistic backgrounds to create inclusive, effective and creative learning environments. As with other “Lehr-Lern-Labor (LLL)” courses, this seminar is an opportunity to explore simplified teaching and learning situations through actual classroom practice. This takes place during two sessions with primary level pupils in the ELT Multilingualism Learning Lab. Participants prepare learning materials for the first Student Lab session. Subsequently, building on results and observation from session one, these teaching materials are further developed and taught a second time. Course meetings are conducted in English (CEF: C1/C2).
Students are expected to attend class regularly and to participate actively, which includes reading assigned texts to prepare for each session, and handing in a number of small writing assignments during the course of the semester.
Assigned texts will be announced at the beginning of the term.
The examination consists of a final 12-15 page paper. The topic can be selected from across the entire content spectrum of the seminar. (For topic selection, see the general style sheet.) The paper must be handed in by the end of the first week of the next semester.
Course structure: lectures, discussions, group/partner work, hands-on activities.
