This course will be taught online using a mixed format with synchronous and asynchronous components.

Once you have signed up and been admitted on PULS, your will receive an email via PULS to let you know when and how to access the online course on Moodle. If you cannot (yet) access PULS are interested in taking this course, please send me an email. At some point during the semester, online teaching may possibly be switched back to classroom teaching (Präsenzlehre). If this happens, I will let you know and classes will take place at the times scheduled. Course requirements may be subject to change. Speaking skills are an essential part of language competence. However, it’s not always easy to get your students to talk in class. In this course we are going to study the processes involved in the development of speaking skills and discuss how to create effective activities (such as games, role play, discussions and projects) to encourage students to speak and interact in class. Taking a look at different examples from the primary EFL classroom, we will focus on material/task design and media use and address questions of assessment, feedback and differentiation. Participants will design short teaching sequences and material to be used in the classroom.
