Comment/Description

This seminar investigates the relationship between theory and practice of lesson planning in English Language Teaching (ELT). Participants will use current ELT theories and approaches (such as task-supported language teaching, learner orientation, top down/bottom up processing, differentiation, etc.) as well as relevant phase models to preprare criterion-based lesson plan analyses in order to critically examine a variety of lesson plans (focussing on varying competence areas such as lexis, grammar, reading comprehenion and speaking) to uncover underlying pedagogical choices, teaching strategies and rationale. Insights gained from these lesson plan analyses will directly inform participants’ own lesson plan design practices, fostering a reflective, evidence-based approach to planning theoretically sound English lesson. Emphasis is placed on bridging theory and practice, enabling students to develop coherent, competence-centered lessons.

Assessment will take form of a two-part portfolio for 6KP: one part is going to be an open-book in-class assessment focusing on lesson plan analysis; the other part is going to be a written lesson plan report focusing on lesson planning.
For students in module ang713 it is possible to obtain additional 3 KP by submitting a project, details of which will be discussed in the first session.

Please note that due to the current vacancy of the professorship the possibility to prepone master courses in modules ang701, ang702 and ang713 is subject to availabilty in the summer term 2026, i.e. students who already have a bachelor`s degree receive priority, undergraduate students may only be considered if there are enough places left.
