Inclusive English Language Teaching - Einzelansicht

*** Please note: Contrary to what is stated on PULS, the seminar is only aimed at secondary level English students. // Achtung: Das Seminar richtet sich, anders als auf PULS verzeichnet, nur an Studierende der Sekundarstufe Englisch. ***

The English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom is increasingly characterized by diversity, incorporating students from a wide range of linguistic, socio-cultural, and educational backgrounds, along with those who have special educational needs. This diversity results in a vibrant learning environment where students are supposed to engage inclusively side by side in mainstream educational settings. Consequently, EFL teachers must be adept at catering to the varied individual needs of their students.

This seminar offers a comprehensive introduction to the wide concept of inclusion and its practical applications within the EFL context. We will explore the theoretical foundations of inclusion, emphasizing its significance in fostering a supportive and effective learning atmosphere. Participants will be equipped with essential knowledge and skills to create and sustain an inclusive language learning environment which embraces and celebrates diversity. They will engage in discussions, case studies, and practical workshops designed to provide actionable strategies for managing diverse classrooms effectively including aspects of diagnosis and assessment. Ultimately, participants will get the chance to develop their own micro-teaching units for the EFL classroom which will be discussed within the seminar.

Texts will be provided at the beginning of the semester via Moodle.
