Deepening students’ understanding of the basic (global) concepts introduced in M1.3, this seminar explores the realm of TEFL from a German English classroom perspective. Essential “classical” methods are revisited – and traced back to the approaches from which they emerged – as well as supplemented by methodological principles and concepts typically found in German TEFL settings, e.g. Ziegésar and Ziegésar’s Erwerbsorientierte Methode and Estor’s Erlebnisgrammatik. Apart from language teaching in a narrow sense, the course covers basic concepts in – and approaches to – teaching literature(s) and culture(s).
