Bitte beachten Sie im Falle, dass wir von Präsenz auf Digitalunterricht umstellen müssen, dass unser digitaler Unterricht dann in allen Kursen teilweise oder komplett über Webkonferenzen (Onlinepräsenz) stattfindet und Sie daher das dafür vorgesehene Zeitfenster frei halten. Die Teilnahme an Webkonferenzen ist verpflichtend.
Der Inhalt dieses Seminars wird in der schriftlichen Prüfung zur Vorlesung Teaching EFL to YL abgefragt. Das Seminar muss nach oder gleichzeitig zu der Vorlesung besucht werden.
Die Prüfung gilt als bestanden, wenn mindestens 60 % der Gesamtpunktzahl UND jeweils mindestens 50 % in den beiden Teilen der Prüfung erreicht wurden. Werden die 50 % in einem oder beiden Teilen nicht erreicht, gilt die Klausur als nicht bestanden.
Da für Vorlesung und Seminar jeweils 4 LPs vergeben werden, müssen Sie mit einer stark erhöhten Arbeitsbelastung rechnen. Es ist nur dann ratsam, Vorlesung und Seminar gleichzeitig zu besuchen, wenn Sie abschätzen können, dass Sie wirklich genug Zeit haben.

Gruppe 1 und Gruppe 4
Teaching English to Young Learners – Focus on Children's Literature
Introducing the Joy of Beginner Books!
Frau Tomlinson
Based on the theories of Stephen Krashen regarding the advantages of reading for improved second-language acquisition, this course will examine the use of ‘beginner books’ and graded readers in primary school EFL lessons. These introductory books will illustrate how simple and repetitive vocabulary, syntax and themes can be particularly useful in encouraging listening, speaking, reading and writing among young children. Using the book Go, Dog. Go! by P.D. Eastman as a springboard, we will explore various fundamental, yet significant lexical, grammatical and syntactical concepts and how to effectively teach them to young learners. By the end of the EFL lessons, primary school pupils will be able to complete their own simple picture books in English.
Participants:
Students with an emphasis or specialization in primary school education who have chosen English as their main or IFB subject and completed and passed all BEd courses.
Prerequisites:
Course material will be available on OLAT.
Assessment:
Regular homework and active participation in class, teaching one mini lesson in English and a written exam.
ECTS evaluation: 4

Gruppe 9
Teaching English to YL - Focus on Children's Literature
From folk tale to picturebook: preparing & teaching story-based EFL sessions
Frau Dr. Kaminski
In this class, we are going to retrace the journey of one of the most cherished stories in the English-speaking world. We will study its beginnings as a folk tale and discover how it was transformed into an 'appropriate' story for children that provided the inspiration for numerous picturebooks in the past 40 years. As we analyse the different versions, we will discuss genre characteristics of folk tales as well as picturebooks. Students will also develop awareness of narrative structure and literary devices through creative writing tasks and we will explore the question of how this knowledge is relevant for the teaching of this story. On the basis of hands-on tasks, students will learn how to conduct meaningful and holistic preparation, core and follow-up activities with young EFL learners. Finally, students will get the opportunity to apply some of these teaching ideas to other stories for children when they prepare and hold their own mini teaching session in class.
Participants:
Primary school students who have chosen English as their main or IFB subject and completed and passed all BEd courses

Gruppe 10 und Gruppe 11
Teaching English to YL - Focus on Cultural Studies and Landeskunde
Herr Ruehmling
"Cultural Studies: Teaching English to Young Learners" is an exciting and challenging course designed to prepare elementary teachers to apply the study of world cultures in teaching English in their classrooms. Be prepared to become an "explorer" as you travel around the world, locating various countries and learning about what defines a culture; e.g. geography, story telling, games, religion, values, beliefs, traditions and food. Students will then have the opportunity to demonstrate various methods in which they can take what they have learned and apply it in their classrooms. In addition to learning how to set up a culturally diverse classroom environment, students will plan a theme-based syllabus with a variety of activities they can actually take with them to use in their classrooms when they begin their teaching career. Students will also be given the opportunity to teach their peers, choosing a country of their choice to explore in depth and then teach about in our seminar. Get your passport ready, pack your bag and prepare to discover the wonder of world cultures. As with any travel experience, this seminar requires a full commitment. Critical listening and reading, collaborative thinking and a willingness to reflect on the exploration we undertake together are essential tools you will bring to the class. At the successful completion of the seminar, you will be able to cultivate an atmosphere of inquiry in your elementary classroom and inspire in your students an appreciation of all cultures.
Assessment:
1 presentation, regular homework and a written exam at the end of semester
Participants:
Primary school students who have chosen English as their main or IFB subject and completed and passed all BEd courses
Prerequisites:
You will attend two additional lessons to make sure that all participants can do the required presentation. There will be an exam revision on offer on Friday, 26th (so separate from the usual seminar day and time). It's highly advisable to attend the revision session.
