Kommentar:
This seminar explores the pedagogical integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into English language teaching. Designed for future English teachers, it provides both a theoretical foundation and practical applications of AI-supported tools and strategies. Drawing upon the Hessian framework for media education, participants will critically engage with all six competence areas — from searching and collaborating to protecting and reflecting — within the context of AI.
Students will experience AI as a writing partner, content generator, analysis tool, and conversation facilitator. Through guided tool exploration, collaborative lesson planning, and critical media reflection, they will learn to navigate both the opportunities and challenges that AI brings to language education.

Kommentar:
What do teachers want at the end of the day? To do their jobs and go back home with a little bit of their sanity intact. In this seminar we will try to explore ways to manage and create a classroom environment that is ideal, or, maybe, just allows for students and teachers to co- exist and work well with each other. We will be investigating topics such as language, behavior, discipline, challenging students, anger, rules and social forms and focus on providing solutions or just insight into some pressing classroom issues. Just be aware: there is no single magic solution. Establishing yourself as a teacher is something that comes with experience, self-reflection and developing a thicker skin. Students will be expected to actively participate, read the texts, reflect and share their thoughts and ideas. Throughout the seminar they will also be expected to work together to complete mini projects that would complement practically the deeper understanding of the different topics. The participants will have to use the knowledge acquired in the first sessions to create their own instruction processes and a manual to be used alongside these, for all the tasks and activities. Finally, to further benefit from that experience students would record their impressions and learning journey on a log that would be reviewed by the lecturer.

Kommentar:
Discover how to bring poetry vividly to life in your EFL classroom! This lecture offers a journey through a wide range of poetic forms - from nursery rhymes and tongue twisters designed for younger learners to sonnets and more experimental contemporary expressions for advanced pupils - across the Anglophone world. Together, we will explore how to convey to your pupils the power of words, the rhythm of language, and the imaginative potential of poetry to open up new horizons. By engaging with authentic lyrical texts, both classic and contemporary ones, the lecture aims to reveal poetry’s broad potential for language learning from linguistic-communicative, intercultural, and critical-interpretative perspectives. Particular emphasis will be placed on teaching methodologies that combine cognitive, personal, and creative approaches. We will explore practical strategies for classroom implementation, always guided by the belief that poetry should not only be read, but also experienced and lived.

Kommentar:
Writing practices in language education are currently in turmoil due to the ongoing proliferation and refinement of generative AI tools. In this seminar students develop knowledge and strategies of fostering writing competencies in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom. Some basic approaches to writing are introduced, such as genre writing, process writing, and creative writing. We discuss possible adjustments to various learner groups and levels of proficiency. Written feedback in conjunction with teacher workload is another focus area. Crucially, all is viewed through the lens of the current AI revolution as we explore potential threats and benefits of the latest technological advancements.

Kommentar:
Technology is “material culture” (Don Ihde), i.e. the human-made objects, both tangible and virtual, which surround as and which accompany our everyday procedures. Language teachers and learners have always used various technologies, with the EFL textbook being but one prominent example. As technologies become increasingly digitalized and fleeting, the question is to what extent language learning and, more importantly for us, language teaching (!) can benefit from the latest technological advancements, whereas some of these tools look promising at first glance but provide very little in the way of enriching actual learning processes. In this seminar, we broach some of these overarching issues and discuss the intricate challenges in trying to extract pedagogical value from various technological applications.

Kommentar:
Pointing out the importance of working on teaching skills is the purpose of most seminars, as instruction is the focus of the learning experience. One of the most challenging but also interesting skills to teach is Speaking. Throughout the seminar, students will work in understanding the main principles and implications of working on Speaking with primary school students. Our focus will be on working with tasks and picture books. We will, thus, explore some of their most significant aspects, namely the fundamental principles of teaching Speaking, classrooms strategies and techniques, speaking tasks as well as practical classroom examples. Both the elements of instruction and assessment will be explored in both their theoretical and practical dimensions. The participants will have to use the knowledge acquired in the first sessions to create their own instruction and assessment processes and a manual to be used alongside these, for all the tasks and activities.

Kommentar:
In the twenty-first century, British theatre remains an artistic force to be reckoned with. Not only do new productions continue to be performed on national and international stages. The theatre also provides other creative industries with stage-trained actors, and some of the most celebrated screenwriters of our time (from Martin McDonagh and Lucy Prebble to Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Richard Gadd) have been socialized in the cultural environment of British theatre.
The seminar surveys some of the key forms, themes, and developments that have shaped British theatrical culture since the 1990s. Beginning with the impact of ‘in-yer-face theatre’, we are going to explore negotiations of mental health on the stage, responses to #metoo in legal drama, and the legacy of theatrical storytelling in recent TV series.
Participants are kindly asked to buy two plays: Martin McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane (1996) and Suzie Miller's Prima Facie (2019). All other course material is available on Stud.IP.
Please note that contemporary theatre often confronts audiences with highly uncomfortable and traumatic experiences, and that this applies – in different ways – to all of the productions we are going to discuss. It is paramount that we practice a form of communication which is attuned to the subject matter and mindful of the diversity of experiences assembled in our group.

Kommentar:
T. S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf were almost exact contemporaries and are today seen as two leading figures of literary modernism. Even though Woolf critically observed in her diary „how sharp, narrow, & much of a stick Eliot has come to be, since he took to disliking me", they were also close friends and both readers and critics of each other's work. This seminar will trace correspondences and differences in their respective writings, looking at Eliot’s poetry, specifically the Four Quartets, and his critical work, the essays and autobiographical writings of Virginia Woolf and her novel To the Lighthouse (any edition is fine).

The aim is to work on language development and awareness with the focus on the four skills (Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening), both in an integrated way but also separately. There will also be considerable work done and emphasis placed on the sub-skill of Vocabulary and also some work done on Grammar. With the ultimate goal of advanced communication, students will have to deal with different levels of texts and other media, through which various aspects of the language will be highlighted.

This lecture course surveys the sounds of English, primarily those of American and British accents. The lecture focuses on the characteristic articulation of English sounds (esp. speech organs, sound classes, places and manners of articulation) as well as the systems used for the phonetic description of vowels and consonants. We will also have a look at phonemes and allophonic distribution, phonological processes and connected speech phenomena such as word stress and intonation. Attention is also paid to those areas of articulation that tend to be problematic for German speakers. Students will also learn to read and broadly transcribe English sounds using International Phonetic Association (IPA) transcription.

This course offers an introduction into the qualitative and quantitative methods for analyzing English language structures on the various levels of linguistic description. We will not only provide an overview of these methods, but will also make sure that you have ample opportunities to practice their application to small-scale studies (with the help of data analysis software and simple statistical measures). We will also place an emphasis on how to discuss and present empirical findings.
The contents of this course will be part of the module exam "MAP: Introduction to English Linguistics II". Please note that the date for that exam will be announced at the beginning of the semester!

Kommentar:
This seminar explores the pedagogical integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into English language teaching. Designed for future English teachers, it provides both a theoretical foundation and practical applications of AI-supported tools and strategies. Drawing upon the Hessian framework for media education, participants will critically engage with all six competence areas — from searching and collaborating to protecting and reflecting — within the context of AI.
Students will experience AI as a writing partner, content generator, analysis tool, and conversation facilitator. Through guided tool exploration, collaborative lesson planning, and critical media reflection, they will learn to navigate both the opportunities and challenges that AI brings to language education.

What do teachers want at the end of the day? To do their jobs and go back home with a little bit of their sanity intact. In this seminar we will try to explore ways to manage and create a classroom environment that is ideal, or, maybe, just allows for students and teachers to co- exist and work well with each other. We will be investigating topics such as language, behavior, discipline, challenging students, anger, rules and social forms and focus on providing solutions or just insight into some pressing classroom issues. Just be aware: there is no single magic solution. Establishing yourself as a teacher is something that comes with experience, self-reflection and developing a thicker skin. Students will be expected to actively participate, read the texts, reflect and share their thoughts and ideas. Throughout the seminar they will also be expected to work together to complete mini projects that would complement practically the deeper understanding of the different topics. The participants will have to use the knowledge acquired in the first sessions to create their own instruction processes and a manual to be used alongside these, for all the tasks and activities. Finally, to further benefit from that experience students would record their impressions and learning journey on a log that would be reviewed by the lecturer.

Discover how to bring poetry vividly to life in your EFL classroom! This lecture offers a journey through a wide range of poetic forms - from nursery rhymes and tongue twisters designed for younger learners to sonnets and more experimental contemporary expressions for advanced pupils - across the Anglophone world. Together, we will explore how to convey to your pupils the power of words, the rhythm of language, and the imaginative potential of poetry to open up new horizons. By engaging with authentic lyrical texts, both classic and contemporary ones, the lecture aims to reveal poetry’s broad potential for language learning from linguistic-communicative, intercultural, and critical-interpretative perspectives. Particular emphasis will be placed on teaching methodologies that combine cognitive, personal, and creative approaches. We will explore practical strategies for classroom implementation, always guided by the belief that poetry should not only be read, but also experienced and lived.

Writing practices in language education are currently in turmoil due to the ongoing proliferation and refinement of generative AI tools. In this seminar students develop knowledge and strategies of fostering writing competencies in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom. Some basic approaches to writing are introduced, such as genre writing, process writing, and creative writing. We discuss possible adjustments to various learner groups and levels of proficiency. Written feedback in conjunction with teacher workload is another focus area. Crucially, all is viewed through the lens of the current AI revolution as we explore potential threats and benefits of the latest technological advancements.

Kommentar:
Technology is “material culture” (Don Ihde), i.e. the human-made objects, both tangible and virtual, which surround as and which accompany our everyday procedures. Language teachers and learners have always used various technologies, with the EFL textbook being but one prominent example. As technologies become increasingly digitalized and fleeting, the question is to what extent language learning and, more importantly for us, language teaching (!) can benefit from the latest technological advancements, whereas some of these tools look promising at first glance but provide very little in the way of enriching actual learning processes. In this seminar, we broach some of these overarching issues and discuss the intricate challenges in trying to extract pedagogical value from various technological applications.

Kommentar:
Pointing out the importance of working on teaching skills is the purpose of most seminars, as instruction is the focus of the learning experience. One of the most challenging but also interesting skills to teach is Speaking. Throughout the seminar, students will work in understanding the main principles and implications of working on Speaking with primary school students. Our focus will be on working with tasks and picture books. We will, thus, explore some of their most significant aspects, namely the fundamental principles of teaching Speaking, classrooms strategies and techniques, speaking tasks as well as practical classroom examples. Both the elements of instruction and assessment will be explored in both their theoretical and practical dimensions. The participants will have to use the knowledge acquired in the first sessions to create their own instruction and assessment processes and a manual to be used alongside these, for all the tasks and activities.

Kommentar:
The seminar focuses on criteria-led reflection on the experience gained during the practical semester in teaching English at primary school. The aim is to evaluate one's own professional identity along didactic competence areas and to identify future aspects of development and outline them in terms of relevant knowledge-bases. This is intended to take account of the idea of cross-phase and competence-orientated teacher training.
