The seminar "Literature and Culture in the EFL Primary Classroom" will deal with texts for children in a variety of genres, but most prominently picture stories. We will consider their potential for use in teaching English to young learners, but also discuss questions such as amongst others: authenticity, the multiple affordances of visualisations, the fostering of intercultural competence and methods for working with the texts discussed in the classroom.
Important! This seminar is aimed specifically at students who are studying to become primary school teachers! Any participants who are not studying for the "Lehramt Grundschule" will be asked to choose a seminar more appropriate to their course of study.
Ideally, participants should have completed the two "Analyzing" seminars in BM2 before taking this BM2.3, "Genres, Authors, Periods" seminar.
The framework for the analysis of picturebooks as literary works will be selected chapters from Nikolajeva and Scott (2001): "How Picturebooks Work"; details of this and further readings will appear in the "Lernraum"
