In this class students will discover the great potential that literary texts offer for teaching and learning in the heterogeneous EFL class: they can be fun, thought provoking, moving, challenging – and promote language learning. I’d like to encourage future teachers to look at short forms (poems and short stories), extracts from literary texts as well as full-length novels to explore their potential for teenage readers, young adults, and even primary school learners. We shall also be dealing with questions of choosing age-appropriate texts and film clips for heterogeneous classes, trying out creative methods, exploring and designing text-based and response-based tasks. As well as explicitly targeting language skills, this class also involves issues of cultural and intercultural learning, as every text is culturally saturated, and as every reader draws on values and notions acquired in cultural contexts.
For those students who wish to adopt the teacher’s role and teach a text of their own choice to young adults, we also offer you the opportunity to participate in a class for international learners of English. These lessons are part of the project ‘PETE’ (Peer-Teaching and Peer-Coaching) that is conducted in cooperation with the Sprachlehrinstitut (SLI) and an additional tutorial. If you would like to participate in the PETE project as Forschungsprojekt to obtain additional credit points (6 LP for MEd 2014 PFP, 3 LP for MEd 2014 M-ENG 4) please sign up under http://buchung.sli.uni-wuppertal.de/angebote/aktueller_zeitraum/_PETE_Tutorial.html.
For further information on PETE, please contact the tutors Lea Steinkuhle and Susannah Ziegler ppete@uni-wuppertal.de or myself diehr@uni-wuppertal.de
