230139 Literature and Culture in the Primary English Classroom (S) (SoSe 2021)
Contents, comment
-
The seminar "Literature and Culture in the EFL Primary Classroom" will deal with texts for children in a variety of genres, but most prominently picture stories. We will consider their potential for use in teaching English to young learners, but also discuss questions such as, amongst others, authenticity, the multiple affordances of visualisations, the fostering of intercultural competence and methods for working with the texts discussed in the classroom.
Participants will explore theories of how picture books work and analyse the material dealt with as works of literature as well as exploring their potential for learning and teaching English to young learners. They will also consider how to assess the suitability of multicultural picture books in fostering intercultural communicative competence in the early English classroom and apply theoretical considerations to picture books from and about southern Africa.
In this digital semester, material will be provided via the Lernraum and LR+ and seminar sessions will take place as far as possible at the designated seminar time via Zoom.
Requirements for participation, required level
-
Important! This seminar is aimed specifically at students who are studying to become primary school teachers! Any participants who are not studying for the "Lehramt Grundschule" will be asked to choose a seminar more appropriate to their course of study.
Ideally, participants should have completed the two "Analyzing" seminars in BM2 before taking this BM2.3, "Genres, Authors, Periods" seminar.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
Part of the Studienleistung will consist of participants presenting picture books of their own choice and "performing" readings of them with elements of the "Storytelling" approach in class, and also creating and presenting their own picture books.
