Teaching and Researching Speaking - Einzelansicht

First meeting: 11 April 2018

Please note that if you do not come to the first meeting, you run the risk of losing your place.

It is one of the main aims of teaching a foreign language to equip learners with the ability to express themselves fluently in the foreign language in meaningful conversations. Recent studies show that learners do not get enough opportunities to use the English language productively and that our knowledge about e.g. the effect of teacher talk and the types of tasks on learners’ speaking skills is still limited (e.g. Klippel 2014). The present course aims to familiarize students with the foundations of teaching EFL speaking skills and to raise their awareness of its challenges. It will be problem-oriented in so far as we will try to find answers to key questions by referring back to theoretical as well as empirical texts together.
