Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This online course aims at familiarising MEd students with research into literature in the EFL classroom, with a focus on both theoretical bases and research methods. In the course of this term, students will
• reflect on the purposes of reading literature in the classroom
• rethink the role of the reader / learner in the EFL classroom
• and become acquainted with some research methods and what they can tell us about readers, reading and the reading materials
In this online course, we will “meet” regularly on BigBlueButton (or on another tool that turns out to offer better communication tools), via a link on moodle, at the stated times. To take part in these meetings, please make sure you have access to a computer and an internet connection that is stable enough to enable full participation with mic and camera. You will need a camera and a microphone (inbuilt or webcam) for our sessions, and a headset would be preferable. The meetings will be recorded.

Assessment and permitted materials

You will be expected to
• prepare one short multimodal presentation to share with your colleagues
• post three written assignments in the course of the term
• read short texts or watch videos which will be posted on moodle in preparation for each class
• participate in synchronous and asynchronous exchange and discussion
Presence and participation in the online meetings is mandatory. You can have one absence (since these are double classes). Please make sure you watch the recordings of any session you have missed and bring yourselves up to date on tasks and readings.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The grade will consist of the following:
Participation (online participation in live sessions and asynchronous tasks) 20%
Presentation and online discussion (due Dec 3) 20%
3 short assignments of 500 words each (due Nov 12, Dec 10, Jan 21) 20% each

Grading scale:
100-90 Sehr Gut
91-80 Gut
81-70 Befriedigend
71-60 Genügend
59-0 Nicht Genügend

Examination topics

There is no sit-down exam but a number of tasks that are supposed to demonstrate your understanding of the theories and methods covered and the texts read and discussed.

Reading list

Theoretical texts and primary material will be posted on moodle. A number of texts, films, series and other formats will be listed on moodle, and there will be a space for you to post your own suggestions.
