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!)
In the digital teaching situation of summer semester 2020, although most of the input will be via written texts, slides or short videos, please go to the Lernraum and work through the material at the time designated for the seminar! That way, you can ask questions in the LernraumPlus chat or in forums, and we might try zoom conferencing as well.
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.

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.
