230181 How to Teach Literature at School: Young Adult Literature (S) (SoSe 2012)

This seminar is designed for students who intend to become teachers of English as a foreign language.
In the first part of the course we will focus on methods of teaching literature in the EFL classroom.
The major part of the course will centre around the question of how to deal with various authentic texts for different proficiency levels as well as how to design single lessons and complete teaching units for S I and II. Students are invited to give a presentation. Assessment and grading will be announced in the first session of the seminar.
