Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Based on the ideas that firstly anyone can tell a story and secondly stories have a life and power of their own, we will explore how we can use narrative texts in all kinds of formats (novels, poems, drama, graphic novels, films, videogames…) in the EFL classroom. The course will revolve around the following pivotal questions: How can I make use of and creatively exploit already existing stories, and this way create rewarding and fun English classes? Also, how can I make students do their own storytelling, i.e. narrate their own personal/biographical or fictitious tales?

More specifically, you will be able to give answers to the following questions:
• How can I make my students read full-blown narrative texts (= books) and help them become passionate and competent readers?
• How can I integrate what I love (prerequisite: you must love stories) in my teaching and create my own teaching materials?
• How can I define teaching aims, make use of existing materials and methods and create pedagogically convincing lesson plans?
• How can I implement narrative texts in tests & revisions, Matura and grading?
• How can I use storytelling to not only develop students’ language skills but also contribute to their personal development into open-minded, critical and responsible people interested in the world, culture, history, and politics?
...

!Class will also be very practice oriented!
