Reflections on Classroom Discourse Gr. 2 - Einzelansicht

The course is mandatory for students during the Praxissemester and is thus only open to students completing their Praxissemester this term.

The general aim is to gain a deeper understanding of classroom discourse. In this respect students will focus on how to improve classroom management with regard to their ‘language’, both verbal and non-verbal, and how it can impact student behaviour. Thus, students will study how to use discourse competence classroom management with regard to teaching method, content, interaction and teacher interventions. It thus combines elements of language practice and teaching methodology. Simulation and video analysis will be vital parts of the course. Participants will be asked to hand in a short paper in which they present ideas to shape classroom discourse based on respective literature.
