230058 Teaching English Language and Literature GS (S) (WiSe 2024/2025)

This seminar will particularly focus on practical aspects of teaching English in primary schools and prepare students for the Praxissemester.
We will firstly recall some characteristics of good teaching practice in the primary EFL classroom which will serve as a basis for your further planning of lesson (elements). We will also explore how to structure a lesson, how to find and formulate learning objectives and how to put your lesson structure in the scheme used in the PS. Assessment of young learners and evaluation of your teaching practice will also be addressed. You will gain insights into where and how to find suitable material, how to organize yourself during the PS, as well as some helpful classroom management tips.
You will apply your practical knowledge by planning a microteaching session as a part of a whole sequence of lessons. This session will be presented in class and evaluated based on the lesson criteria we developed
