Interactional competence in the classroom - describing learners skills - Einzelansicht

Please note: Due to the current Corona situation, this course is planned to commence only on April 23. Please enrol in the Moodle course (ID 22996) for up-to-date information.

Being able to interact in a foreign language is a basic skill foreign language learners need. Consequently, future teachers also need to be able to assess their interactional competence.
After this course, students are able to assess the interactional competence of learners of English as shown in an oral exam. For this we will cover, among other things,
o features of spoken as against written language;
o basic interactional skills
o basic conversation-analytic terminology, concepts, methods and findings
o developing an assessment grid with a focus on interactional competence;
o writing an assessment, evaluation and (formative) feedback tailored to the speakers’ performances;
so that they can complement the relevant knowledge and skills acquired in the parallel TEFL course (see below) and later access these skills at their future workplace.

Please note: This course is taught in parallel with the TEFL course "Developing and assessing speaking skills in the EFL classroom" (Prof. Freitag-Hild). Students can make most use of the courses if they attend both. FSL students are welcome to just attend this first one.
