S Margaret Atwood's Dystopian Visions in Text and Film
Tuesday: 16:00 - 18:00, weekly (from 02/04/19) Description: In this course, we will study two dystopias from very different historical contexts by the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid’s Tale with its focus on future prospects of neo-conservative political and religious trends from the mid-1980s U.S.; and the The Heart Goes Last, which offers a more recent view of how socio-economic collapse makes Western democracies turn into societies ruled by paranoia and prison regimes. We will read both novels within the larger generic concepts of utopias/dystopias in the tradition of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four or H. G. Wells’s The Island of Dr. Moreau. But we will also examine how Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale has been adapted as TV series, that is, received and interpreted as a work of its own, taking into consideration its medium-specificity and the present-day concerns and anxieties that infuse this reception of Atwood's 1980s novel. Please purchase and read: Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale (1985); Bruce Miller, The Handmaid’s Tale, TV series, season 1, 2017; Margaret Atwood, The Heart Goes Last (2015). |

Ü English for Educational Purposes: Designing Reading Materials
Thursday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 04/04/19) Description: What kinds of written materials should English language teachers use in class? Are authentic written texts more appropriate for classroom use than simplified texts? Should teachers provide students with German translations of all the difficult English vocabulary in a text? How can I create a reading comprehension task? How do I write instructions? These are some of the questions we will discuss and find answers to in this course. The main aim of this course is for students to practice selecting effective, level‐appropriate reading materials for the English language classroom and to design tasks to accompany them. In order to achieve this, students will be expected to design their own reading worksheets based on both authentic and simplified texts. Assessment: Students will be assessed via a portfolio, which will include designing two reading worksheets. Additionally, students will be expected to participate actively in class, including taking part in workshops. Note: For students studying MEd (Gym) and MA (English Studies), this course forms half of the compulsory module ang900: Language Skills for Proficiency, and is graded. For students studying Med (GHR) and MEd (WiPäd), the course is part of ang702 and is assessed on a pass-fail basis. |

S for Superheroes: Alan Moore's Graphic Novels V for Vendetta, Watchmen, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Tuesday: 14:00 - 16:00, weekly (from 02/04/19) Description: S For Superheroes In the 1980s, the figure of the superhero experienced an unprecedented deconstruction that has had a lasting impact on the perception of this comic-book stock character. Crossing over to the dark side, the (anti-)heroes of Alan Moore's graphic novels %%V for Vendetta%%, %%Watchmen%% and %%The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen%% now come across as the gloomy alter egos of their less complex and certainly less multi-faceted predecessors. In the seminar, we will be investigating the historical, political, and literary contexts that caused this shift in the genre conventions of the graphic novel as well as their cultural side effects, which have moved the genre as a whole onto dystopian terrain. Please read: Moore, Alan and Kevin O'Neill. %%The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen%%. Omnibus Edition. New York, NY: Vertigo, 2013. [ISBN-13: 978-1401240837] Moore, Alan and David Lloyd. %%V for Vendetta%%. New York, NY: Vertigo, 2008 [ISBN-13: 978-1401208417] Moore, Alan and Dave Gibbons. %%Watchmen%%.

S Digital Worlds in Contemporary Fiction and Serial TV
Thursday: 10:00 - 12:00, weekly (from 04/04/19) Description: Digital technologies and digital media continue to become an ever greater part of contemporary individual and social life. There appears to be a consensus that this process is inevitable, but there is next to no agreement with respect to the ways in which individuals and society are affected by it. Responses range from euphoria and enthusiasm on the one hand, to dystopian visions of a future societies totally under surveillance and control. Contradictory assessments of contemporary situations, and contradictory expectations about future developments can be found in the leading media of fictional narratives – the novel and the TV serial – as well. Our course will offer an opportunity to engage with these issues through the analysis of a range of fictional narratives representing worlds which are shaped and informed in various forms by digital technologies. We will focus both on ‘dystopian’ and on ‘realistic’ representations of digital worlds, and analyse two novels as well as (selectively) work on two TV series whose evolving engagement with digital technologies and media may help us also to historicise the evolving perspectives on the digital over the past two decades. The two novels in question are: Hari Kunzru, Transmission (2004), and Lauren Beukes, Moxyland (2008). These are available in the University bookshop. Please purchase and read these as early as possible. The two TV series chosen for this course are Black Mirror (4 seasons, 2011-2017) and South Park (22 seasons, 1997-2018). Please view as many episodes of these series as possible in preparation for the course (South Park is free in Germany on www.southpark.de; Black Mirror is on Netflix; both series are on DVD as part of a Handapparat to our course in the university library). I will suggest a selection of episodes for us to analyse but am happy to discuss suggestions. It may be helpful to use online resources giving short summaries of the episodes (such as, for instance, en.wikipedia.org) in order to pre-select relevant episodes. Credits are obtained by participating in an oral presentation and producing a written term paper based on one aspect of this presentation (6 or 9 KP, depending on your course of study). M.A. students will be required to submit an additional ‘project’ (3 KP). This can take a variety of forms (but you cannot write a second term paper). The general requirement is to take one aspect of the seminar as a point of departure, and pursue some form of empirical research which takes you beyond the scope of the seminar. Details to be discussed individually. |

S Growing Up/ Growing Sideways: Heteronormativity and the Queer Child
Monday: 14:00 - 16:00, weekly (from 01/04/19) Description: Growing Up/ Growing Sideways: Heteronormativity and the Queer Child In this seminar, we will be exploring different ways and concepts of growing up, both theoretically and with regard to literary and cinematic representations from Lewis Carroll's %%Alice's Adventures in Wonderland%% (1865) to Peter Cameron's %%Someday this Pain Will Be Useful to You%% (2007). As growth in a (hetero-) normative culture is generally defined as a directed movement toward deeply held values like marriage, parenthood, or a 'carreer', prevalent notions of growing up may turn out to be a stumbling block or even a hindrance to developing a healthy sense of self. In order to examine and deconstruct the ways by which (hetero-) normative culture construes the identity of the Child (in the name of the child), we will be analysing the representation of %%queer%% children – in the widest sense, i.e. from so-called %%problem children%% to %%protogay children%%. Please read/ watch: %%Billy Elliot%%. Dir. Stephen Daldry. Perf. Jamie Bell, Julie Walters, Gary Lewis, Jamie Draven, and Adam Cooper. 2000. Universal, 2003. DVD.

S Nineteenth-Century Fictions of Postapocalyptic England
Tuesday: 16:00 - 18:00, weekly (from 02/04/19) Description: Post-apocalyptic narratives have become quite a popular genre in contemporary fiction and popular culture. In recent years, there has been no shortage of scenarios set in a more or less close or distant future, imagining humanity seriously decimated by various types of catastrophe – from climate change and atomic disasters to invasions by zombies, robots or aliens. In the nineteenth century, such fictional anticipations of the downfall of human society were far less frequent, but they nevertheless existed. This course offers a chance to encounter and analyse two of these early postapocalyptic novels: The Last Man (1826) by Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein; and After London; or Wild England (1885) by Richard Jefferies. Both novels can be obtained from the university bookshop. They must be used only in the editions provided there: The Last Man in Oxford World’s Classics, ed. by Morton D. Paley; After London in the Edinburgh Critical Edition, ed. by Mark Frost. The regular Prüfungsform for this course is “Referat mit Ausarbeitung”. All alternatives need to be agreed with me, please contact me early if zou have reason to seek such an alternative. |

S Multiple Imaginations: Germany's Pasts and Presents
Dates on Friday. 10.05.19 16:00 - 20:00, Saturday. 11.05.19, Saturday. 18.05.19 10:00 - 19:00
Description: In this seminar, we will work on different narratives about and representations of what is imagined – in different times and under different (political, social, economic) circumstances – as ‘Germany’. We will explore what ‘Germany’ supposedly is and gain a deeper understanding of it. With a cultural studies perspective we will look at what and who is represented by whom as ‘German(y)’, who and what is excluded by the narratives, what the specific circumstances for specific narratives are, and which counter-narratives can be found. The aim of the seminar is not to study what is called ‘Germany’ or ‘Europe’ but to learn about representation and perspectives of (multiple) self-imaginations, how they are constructed in different narratives and which functions these imaginations serve. In the context of this seminar, we do a joint study trip to the Auswandererhaus in Bremerhaven to explore different narratives and representations about Germany’s past and present. With a selection of texts and short films we will examine issues of exclusion and inclusion, and their implications. |

Ü English for Educational Purposes: Designing Speaking Activities
Tuesday: 14:00 - 16:00, weekly (from 02/04/19) Description: In this course, we will be focusing on teaching speaking through activities such as role plays and discussions. The main goal is for students to learn how to create effective speaking activities and materials that can be used in the classroom. Assessment: Students will be assessed via a portfolio, which will include designing two speaking activities: one to be submitted in written form (a role play) and the second to be presented in an oral test (a discussion activity). Additionally, students will be expected to participate actively in class, including taking part in workshops. Note: For students studying MEd (Gym) and MA (English Studies), this course forms half of the compulsory module ang900: Language Skills for Proficiency, and is graded. For students studying MEd (WiPäd), the course is part of ang702 and is assessed on a pass-fail basis. |

S Writing the Indian Ocean
Friday: 10:00 - 12:00, weekly (from 12/04/19) Description: Recounting his childhood in East Africa under British colonial rule, the Kenyan writer Ngugi wa’Thiongo recalls Christmas feasts with “plentiful of cabaci, thambutha and mandathi, our version of the Indian chapati, paratha, samosa. The spices, curry, hot pepper and all, so very Indian, had become so central a part of Kenyan African cuisine that I could have sworn that these dishes were truly indigenous. … So African it all seemed to me that when I saw Indians drinking tea or making curry, I thought it the result of African influence.” Such culinary borrowing is only a small sign of the social, cultural, and economic interconnections that define the Indian Ocean. While European colonialism has shaped and intensified these connections, there had been trade, migration, and cultural exchange between East Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and South East Asia for centuries before that. The seminar will look at three representations of these connections in fiction: M.G. Vassanji’s The In-Between World of Vikram Lall, Amitav Ghosh’s In an Antique Land, and Abdulrazak Gurnah’s Paradise. Along the way, we will look at the politics of writing in English in Africa and South Asia and at the emerging cultural theory of Indian Ocean interconnections. Students will also be able to join a field trip to the conference “Postcolonial Oceans” that takes place in Bremen 30 May – 2 June. This will give you both a window into current research on the subject and maybe also spark some ideas for your own research papers. Speaking of which: The seminar will put developing your individual research paper front and centre. Researching secondary literature, developing your hypothesis, and structuring your argument will be discussed in class, and smaller working groups will give you the chance to get individual feedback before you start writing. To this end, there will be a tutorial on Fridays, 12:00-14:00 – make sure to reserve this time slot! A precise schedule will be circulated before the term begins. |

S Women, Race, and Myth: Classica Africana from Phillis Wheatley to Toni Morrison
Tuesday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 02/04/19) Description: One branch of the field of Classica Africana focuses on how African Americans adapted and re-narrated ancient myths. This course seeks to gain an overview over a lineage of black women writers from the eighteenth to the twentieth century and their reception and appropriation of classical myths. We will take into consideration the different social realities and concerns that produced their classical adaptations and examine how these black women artists recreated their life experiences as racialized and silenced ‘Other’ through their experimentation with classical myths. With the help of selected texts from myth and race theory, we will approach the nexus of race, gender, and myth, exploring the ways in which the use of classical myth shapes these black artists’ aesthetic expression and political concerns. Please purchase and read the following novels: Pauline Hopkins, Of One Blood: Or, the Hidden Self (1903); Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937); Toni Morrison, Beloved (1987). |

Friday: 08:00 - 10:00, weekly (from 05/04/19) Description: This class deals with L2 acquisition in the broad sense, including various background L1s and the forgetting of these L1s, referred to as first language attrition - a phenomenon which is viewed as related to the acquisition of an L2. We will look at different domains of language and consider the impact of cross-linguistic differences on attrition and acquisition. In particular, we will engage with the analysis of interlanguage errors in English and German as second/foreign languages. By the end of the term students will be able to give an elaborate description of the phenomena of bilingualism in question, including factors of influence and related examples. |

Ü Spoken English: Higher Education in North America
Monday: 14:00 - 16:00, weekly (from 01/04/19) Description: The university or college experience on the North American continent differs in certain respects from that in Europe. There are also many differences between higher education in Canada and the United States and the individual institutions. Prospective students can choose between public and private institutions, from two-year colleges to ivy league institutions, and even from a number of minority-serving institutions or specialized institutions such as Aboriginal colleges, historically Black colleges and universities, women’s colleges and military colleges. In this course, students will be given ample opportunity to improve their oral skills as we explore university and college education and undergraduate culture in both the United States and Canada. We will discuss, debate as well as critically examine topics such as student campus life, intercollegiate athletics, the role of specialized and minority-serving institutions, tuition fees and financing options, and social organizations, such as Greek-letter organizations. "Spoken English: Higher Education in North America" forms one half of the compulsory module ang311: Integrated Language Skills. The module is assessed via a portfolio. The assessment requirement for this Spoken English course is a 10 minute oral language test at the end of the semester, with the grade to be added to the result from Written English for the module total. |

Teaching Literature
Monday: 18:00 - 20:00, weekly (from 01/04/19) Description: Teaching literature in the EFL Classroom Amongst the current generation of teaching professionals, the question whether literature – both with a capital and a small `l´- should be used in the EFL classroom is usually answered with a resounding “yes!”. For years critics of the competence-based approach have been calling for literature to be re-established as a means of fostering an education that goes beyond a mere acquisition of a certain skill set. In our digital age the number of literary texts available online as well as the products emerging from the communication between readers, texts and authors open up new types of literary discourse and expression transcending age, nationality and educational background. On the other hand, future teachers of English are bound to come across restrictions regarding their choice of literary works as well as the topics connected to them. German Abitur exams in particular require close scrutiny of the curriculum. Set texts and a variety of linguistic and analytical skills will be required to meet the assessment standards stipulated by the Ministry of Education. From primary school through to the final years of secondary school and Abitur-level both extensive reading of literary texts as well as reading with a view of composing a piece of writing are expected to be fostered systematically. The seminar aims at providing an overview of different literary texts, approaches and methods viable in the EFL classroom. Starting with visualisation techniques, story telling, scenic interpretation and creative writing participants are expected to get actively involved in classes by creating their own literary products and exchanging ideas about the viability of different didactic approaches. Other than that, everyone will be required to provide short keynote presentations on a selection of topics connected to teaching literature. You can put your name down for topics from the second week of term. Against the backdrop of current research in Didactics, participants are expected to analyse teaching and learning materials as well as (excerpts from) current textbooks for various age groups. Different approaches towards teaching literature will be explored. The development of units of work and lesson plans will be informed by relevant theories of language learning and teaching and can be critically applied to a selection of tasks, resources and ideas for projects connected to teaching literature. Lesson planning and the analysis of lessons involves • realistic target setting, • allowing for differentiation, • an appropriate choice of materials and media • as well as devising appropriate assessment strategies. Schemes of work submitted by students will be put under close scrutiny by peers and the lecturer in order to determine their viability in the classroom. Ideally, concepts and strategies will be put into practice during subsequent internships. As regards the submission of coursework as part of your final assessment, all participants are required to hand in a portfolio showing their ability to plan and reflect on lessons and schemes of work or tasks. |
