Dear students, all courses will be taught as online courses until further notice. Once you have signed on in PULS and have been admitted in PULS, your instructor will email you via PULS to let you know when and how to access the online material (moodle, etc.).

Testatsleistungen (course requirements) may be subject to change. Students who cannot (yet) access PULS: Please email your instructor directly. It is possible that classes can be switched to classroom teaching (Präsenzlehre) at some point during the semester. If this happens, your instructor will let you know and classes will take place at the times originally scheduled.

Teaching Culture: focus on South Africa

In this seminar, we will take a look at different dimensions and aspects of culture, concepts of inter- and transcultural learning, global education, and discuss various ways of representing culture(s) in the English classroom with a special focus on South Africa’s past and present. In addition, we will also examine the potential of literary texts for teaching culture. Further questions to be addressed are the role of course books, media (especially films), task-based approaches, and projects. Students will develop their own teaching proposals which will be presented and discussed during the seminar.

Credit requirements: Active participation including obligatory readings and online assignments, and a teaching proposal for a sequence in the EFL classroom (grades 7-13). Teaching proposals will be prepared in pairs in June and presented in July.
