Grundlagenseminar (Schwerpunkt Grundschule) - Einzelansicht

First meeting: 14 April 2020

This seminar is explicitly addressed to students with the focus on Grundschule.

We strongly recommend that you attend the Introduction together with the Grundlagenseminar in the same semester, as the MAP covers topics dealt with in both classes.

Please note that if you are not present at the first meeting, you may lose your place in the course.

Revision course (optional): 12 August 2019

The revision will only cover questions and remarks you have previously submitted via email to susannah.ziegler@uni-wuppertal.de until 05 August 2019.

This course is particularly addressed to BA students with a primary school profile (Profil Grundschule). It familiarizes students with the principles and procedures of teaching English as a foreign language in the early stages. Students following this course are encouraged to explore a wide range of approaches to teaching a foreign language, covering the five language skills (listening, speaking, mediating, reading, and writing), as well as focusing on the role of vocabulary and grammar. This course will also cover topics like language assessment, working with picture books and intercultural learning
