- "How can I teach literature to relative beginners?"
- "Can teaching Shakespeare actually be interesting (for myself, my students, ...)?"
- "Which novels might be relevant for the 'Zentralabitur'?"
If you are planning to become an English teacher and consider these questions relevant and interesting, this is the right course for you. The seminar aims to discuss general approaches to teaching literature (e.g. structuring lessons and units). These ideas will be tried out with various novels that are/were/may be relevant for the 'Zentralabitur', as well as with books that aim at younger learners.
For a Studienleistung, you will have to show that you worked on the offered modules. This will include:
- the reading of the secondary texts as well as novels/plays
- drawing up the actual module tasks
- participating in the presence sessions (or Zoom conferences)
For a Prüfungsleistung, you will have to write a term paper (3,000-5,000 words) that deals with teaching modern literature in a classroom setting.
