Gruppe 8
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, storytelling, 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
