230496 Using Visuals Effectively in the English Classroom (S) (SoSe 2023)

Contents, comment

In this seminar, we will first examine some of the insights from theory and research on how to use visual material effectively to support language learning and teaching. Subsequently, we will explore practical implementations of visual materials for a wide range of language learning purposes in a variety of different EFL contexts. This practical phase will include creating our own materials as well: don't worry, there will be a highly interactive and entertaining workshop that will prove to you that anyone can draw! This seminar is for students planning to teach at all levels, from primary to upper secondary school (YES, you CAN use pictures in the Oberstufe!)

The seminar will take place in hybrid format - in the classroom and simultaneously via Zoom. The material for the sessions will be uploaded in the LernraumPlus.

Requirements for participation, required level

PM1 courses should generally only be taken after most of the basic modules (BM seminars) have been completed. It is recommended in the Modulhandbuch that they are taken from the 3rd semester of study on.

Student information

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.

Participants will be expected to analyse and/or create materials and give presentations that showcase visual-based microteaching, using the kinds of materials they will need at the level(s) they are planning to teach at in future. Part of the course requirements are to do regular small drawing tasks (I will take the fear out of drawing, don't worry!) and upload them in portfolios you create in the Lernraum.
