230188 Teaching English Language and Literature (S) (WiSe 2026/2027)

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 developing a practical project which will be presented in class and evaluated based on the lesson criteria we developed. There might also be the opportunity to teach your ideas to second grade students.
