As part of the first phase of teacher education, student teachers extend their knowledge in the fields of literary and cultural studies, linguistics, and EFL education considerably. Models of professional competence assume that this expert knowledge serves as a basis for teachers’ performance in class. However, some student teachers may find it challenging to apply their expert knowledge to lesson planning and teaching in EFL education.
This class aims at helping student teachers explore the relevance of their expert knowledge from various fields of study for their job as future EFL teachers. To achieve this, this class centers on case studies (fallbasiertes Lernen) in EFL education. Drawing on lesson videos, lesson transcripts and in-class interviews with EFL teachers, we will critically reflect upon how EFL teachers design their lessons and interact with their students. This allows participants to engage with key topics of EFL education, such as classroom management, corrective feedback, material design, and classroom discourse.
Students are expected to regularly participate, thoroughly prepare and actively contribute to each meeting. Students participating in this seminar are expected to take an oral exam after completing the module FD 2 (oral exam in combination with the second seminar of this module). |
