3.02.192 S Current Issues in ELT for Undergraduate Students
  • Monday, 08:00 - 10:00, Weekly (from 12.10.26)

Description:
Starting out with a collection of topics currently "trending" in ELT, we shall focus on the most obvious innovation, namely the use of AI in foreign language teaching. Other issues such as inter- and transcultural learning will be connected to material design based on examples from worksheets and test papers. The diminishing signifance of the native speaker ideal will be contrasted with the idea of English as Lingua Franca (ELF) as part of a strategy towards more inclusive FL classrooms. In keeping with a framework of critical language teaching, representation in textbooks and heteronormativity will be explored based on examples from classroom practice. Finally, mental health and resilience as traits to foster in language learners will be critically examined, especially with regard to selected teaching materials from up to date journals. Opportunities positive psychology offers in this context will be examined. Assessment issues: As part of displaying "active participation", participants are expected to -attend regularly, -study academic texts from established journals, e.g. ELT or TESOL, or book chapters, -analyse teaching resources, -contribute to discourse during class, -provide samples of their work. Only then (!) will they qualify to sit an end-of-term test ON CAMPUS !!! (written assessment / Klausur) 		Seminar 2 Dr. Sylke Bakker

  • Friday, 18.12.26, 12:00 - 16:00 o'clock

Description:
Migration has become one of the most significant forces shaping contemporary European societies. At the same time, migration is not only a social process but also a cultural and discursive phenomenon. Public debates, media narratives, and cultural texts continuously produce particular representations of migrants, migration, and Europe itself. This seminar examines Europe as a transnational space shaped by migration, mobility, and global interdependencies. Drawing on cultural studies, migration studies, and postcolonial perspectives, the course explores how migration (e.g., forced migration, care work, education, family life, etc.) are represented and interpreted in European contexts.

3.02.200 S Postcolonialism and Literature
  • Monday, 10:00 - 12:00, Weekly (from 12.10.26)

Description:
The seminar provides an overview of postcolonial storytelling and the concept of multiculturalism followed by an analysis of a variety of literary products ranging from the early 90s to the present. Questions of national identity will be covered as well as cultural, political and religious issues. Excerpts from novels but also chapters from textbooks, e.g. Year 7 will be analysed. London as a hub of the British multicultural experience will be explored in greater detail. Excerpts from selected texts comprise works. Each text will be analysed and assessed with regard to its suitability for classroom use. Excerpts from textbook units along with the accompanying tasks and media will be critically examined. Additional material from a variety of sources will be collected, presented and prepared for classroom use. Task design will be practiced by providing motivating challenges for young adult readers and learners of English. London as a topic for younger learners exploring the postcolonial heritage will also be examined using current textbook chapters and abridged literary texts. Recent discussions on Britains colonial past and the "black-lives-matter" discussion will also be taken into account. Relevant reading in this field comprises e.g. -Akala, Natives. Race & Class in the Ruins of the Empire (2018) -Eddo-Lodge, R. Why I`m No Longer Talking to White People About Race (2018) -Hirsch, A., British. On Race, Identity and Belonging (2018) -Shukla, N. (Ed.) The Good Immigrant (2016) A special focus will be put on the experience of displacement and seeking refuge from the perspective of children (picture book “My Name is not Refugee”) respectively teenagers (“Refugee Boy”). Please note that details on the structure and focus of each class can be found at files. -On successful completion of this module, students should be familiar with the British Empire and the literature emerging from the post-colonial experience -know about London`s significance for contemporary multicultural life-be able to explain the role of English in post-colonial storytelling -be able to analyse narrative texts reflecting the multicultural experience -be familiar with the content and interpretation of the texts dealt with in class -be able to assess the viability of select texts for classroom use -be aware of the rules and regulations the Core Curriculum in Lower Saxony stipulates for the topic -be able to critically assess literary products for teaching purposes and, if necessary, modify and edit them provide tasks accompanying literary texts reflecting the multicultural experience Participants are expected to: provide commentaries on topics discussed in class (“Aktive Teilnahme”) -submit samples of work (“Aktive Teilnahme”) -pass a test at the end of term.

3.02.120 Resilience in the Anthropocene: Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam Trilogy
  • Thursday, 08:00 - 10:00, Weekly (from 15.10.26)

Description:
Resilience has become somewhat of a buzzword that can be found across a wide range of research fields and knowledge domains, which theorize, interpret, and apply the concept differently. Humans, the environment, materials, technologies—they all ought to be resilient, it seems. But resilience has not only been viewed as a desirable asset. The idea that specific traits make somebody or something resilient in the face of adversity is linked to questions of ‘the core’ of things and can thus place the burden on materials, technologies, individuals, communities, and more-than-humans without duly considering their interactions with others and their sociocultural situatedness. In this class, we will acquaint ourselves with several of these critical perspectives and consider the promise and critique related to questions of the concept. Our reading material is Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy (2003–2013), whose issue-rich contents open up the numerous facets of resilience in many different knowledge fields: science; a government usurped by few, powerful tech-companies; gender; race/ethnicity; environmental crisis; posthumanism; eco-religion; education and childhood; storytelling; and more. At the same time, the trilogy’s focus on the vulnerability of the human species and—spoiler alert!—the extinction of human life as we know it, allows us to ask what forms of resilience the representations of the last survivors, their surrounding ecosystems, the posthumans and posthuman animals in Atwood’s fictitious world can teach us. Please purchase and read all volumes of Atwood’s trilogy (there are no preferred editions): • Oryx and Crake (2003) • The Year of the Flood (2009) • MaddAddam (2013). 		Seminar 2 Priv.-Doz.

3.02.160 S Language acquisition and impairment
  • Thursday, 10:00 - 12:00, Weekly (from 15.10.26)

Description:
This class deals with the typical and atypical development of more than one language in the broad sense, from birth or successively. Since bilinguals seldom use their languages in a balanced way, different dominance patterns arise and change over the lifespan, including the forgetting of the first language, referred to as language attrition - a phenomenon which is viewed as related to the acquisition of an L2. We will look at various developmental settings, different language phenomena and consider the impact of cross-linguistic differences on attrition and acquisition. By the end of the term students will be able to give an elaborate description of the phenomena of bilingualism in question and the factors of influence involved. 		Seminar 2 Dr. phil.

Description:
Some of the earliest documentary films, such as In the Land of the Head Hunters (1914) and Nanook of the North (1922), explore the relationship between human beings and their natural environments. Both Head Hunters and Nanook are also (pseudo-)scientific films, (purported) ethnographic studies of "primitive" peoples. As such, they demonstrate the close interconnection between science and motion pictures--indeed, motion pictures became important tools of scientific observation and inquiry practically as soon as they were discovered. In this seminar, we will explore ways in which documentary films frame (scientific) knowledge about nature, the environment, and humankind's varied relationships and entanglements with the natural world. In so doing, we will soon discover that films that seem to center on nature often say more about humans than the natural world they purport to represent. Films likely to be discussed (selection): Nanook of the North (1922) The Living Desert (1953) The Vanishing Prairie (1954) Life on Earth (1979) An Inconvenient Truth (2006) The National Parks: America's Best Idea (2009) Life (2009) Racing Extinction (2015) Anthropocene: The Human Epoch (2017) 		Seminar 2 Rebecca Käpernick, M.A.

  • Thursday, 08:00 - 10:00, Weekly (from 15.10.26)

Description:
This class deals with the development of English as L3, after two other languages have been acquired simultaneously or successively. Since multilingual speakers seldom use their languages in a balanced way, different dominance patterns arise and change over the lifespan, including the forgetting of the first language, referred to as language attrition - a phenomenon induced by the acquisition of one or more languages later in life. We will look at various developmental settings, different language phenomena in the domain of grammar and consider the impact of cross-linguistic differences on attrition, acquisition and processing. In addition, we will deal with language acquisition theory and its research methods. By the end of the term students will be able to give an elaborate description of the phenomena of multilingualism in question and the factors of influence involved but also conduct a small research project themselves.

3.02.502 Ü Vorbereitung auf das Fachpraktikum Englisch (Gym)
  • Monday, 14:00 - 16:00, Weekly (from 12.10.26)

Description:
Having successfully mastered your initial pedagogical internship (“Allgemeines Schulpraktikum”), the next step is a subject-specific programme for future teachers of English. You will focus on the necessities of the syllabus but also on recognised standards, e.g. the Common European Framework and educational standards established across Germany (“Bildungsstandards”). The course is designed to help you make the transition from your university-based view on teaching to actually mastering the complex role of a classroom practitioner. Since your internship is likely to take place in Lower Saxony, the most recent version of the Core Curriculum (2015 / 2018) will be explored and applied to the planning process of units of work and individual lessons. Participants are expected to critically analyse and develop complex tasks but also come up with short exercises and practice sessions as a means to foster language learning. Different teaching resources and textbooks will be studied against the backdrop of scientific insights into the subject. Lesson planning and creating units of work will be an integral part of the preparation for the upcoming field experience. A critical reflection of English lessons observed and taught during the initial pedagogical internship will serve as a basis for reflective lesson planning. A hands-on approach to developing key professional skills therefore involves • preparing and planning lessons and units of work, • realistic target setting • administrative skills such as reporting and recording, • assessment / testing and • planning for differentiation. By the end of the course you should be familiar with key requirements of lesson planning and teaching as well as the underlying principles of language learning. 		Exercises 2 Dr. Sylke Bakker

  • Thursday, 08:00 - 10:00, Weekly (from 15.10.26)

Description:
Teaching content and knowledge of English simultaneously is becoming increasingly common in German schools. This course will introduce students to various strategies, techniques and resources for teaching other subjects in English, examining issues you are likely to face. The course will provide both practice at and language feedback on Content and Language Integrated Learning, including task and lesson planning and implementation, and resource development (using translated German-language and English-language materials). It will also look at ways of teaching English literature and culture to students at various levels. As part of the assessment, each student will develop linguistic and topic-based materials for a group mini-lesson of their own design and teach it to the rest of the group, to be followed by a discussion of relevant didactic and linguistic issues. This course is assessed via a portfolio comprising: instructor assessment of your lesson and materials, your own review of your lesson (500-600 words) and a 500-600 word in-class writing test.

How can we convey meaning to a hearer successfully? How can a hearer understand what a speaker means? This course aims to provide the students with a holistic understanding of the differences between meaning in and out of context. Therefore, we are going to investigate the elusive line between semantics and pragmatics. Although this course introduces pragmatic theories, it nevertheless relies on practical examples of spoken language to show which areas of natural language these theories describe. In other words: The theories introduced in this course are all applicable to communicative situations we all are familiar with. 		Seminar - Nils Rademacher

Description:
Industrial modernity and its media-technological advances in the first half of the twentieth century determined the course of the aesthetic movements often grouped under the umbrella term “modernism.” Given the heterogenous nature of the forms of cultural production in connection with said movements, many scholars have been taken to think about them in the plural: there is no single modernism, but rather modernisms. Along these lines, one of the most salient features of the various modernisms was the cross-fertilization of media practices that shaped the developments of artistic expression in literature and the arts on both sides of the Atlantic. Any given form of art would become increasingly unthinkable without the others; meaning that there would be no modernist poetry without photography, no stream of consciousness-prose without cinematic technique, and so on. In American culture, poets, novelists, photographers, film makers, painters, and musicians such as Ansel Adams, Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, John Cage, Charles Demuth, T. S. Eliot, Walker Evans, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Howard Hawks, Langston Hughes, Marianne Moore, Georgia O’Keeffe, Ezra Pound, Man Ray, Gertrude Stein, Wallace Stevens, Alfred Stieglitz, Orson Welles, Nathanael West, William Carlos Williams, and Louis Zukofsky forged new and seemingly unprecedented aesthetic positions and heterogeneous forms of articulation. These forms would thus become contemporaneous with the cultural climates of imperialism, industrialism, accelerating capitalism, and the general sentiment within modern society that has been termed the “loss of the center.” This seminar will trace the course and development of US-American modernisms across media: their historical events, seminal works, various avant-gardes, political standpoints, and aesthetic theories and practices from the early stages to late proponents. While emphasizing the imperative to “make it new” in these aspects, the tracing will proceed with a catalogue of issues that reflect on the poetics and politics of media, and what the notions of “image,” “sound,” and “text” might mean in the modernist context. Aside from the poems, short fiction, theoretical texts, and audiovisual material, which will be made available digitally at the start of the semester, please purchase and read the following books: - Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons: The Corrected Centennial Edition - Nathanael West, The Day of the Locust 		Seminar - PD Dr. Julius Greve

3.02.150 S The Post-Apocalyptic American City
  • Wednesday, 14:00 - 16:00, Weekly (from 14.10.26)

Description:
John Winthrop, Puritan leader and first governor of Massachusetts, famously described the British colony in the New World as a "city upon a hill." Winthrop's city established "a model of the American national imagination" (Bercovitch) and epitomized an exceptionalist narrative that imagined "the eyes of all people [...] upon" the Puritans. American cities have since often been associated with the future; however, this future has not always been defined by technological superiority and wealth, with actualizing the seemingly unlimited potentials of the New World. Indeed, post-apocalyptic American cities seem to permeate the popular imagination just as much as optimistic portrayals of American cities. In this seminar, we will discuss representations of various post-apocalyptic American cities. While introductory lectures will trace these representations to the early days of the American national project, our focus will be on cultural artifacts produced since the early twentieth century. We will (largely) progress chronologically through various media. Likely texts: Jack London, The Scarlet Plague (novella, 1912) W.E.B. Du Bois, "The Comet" (short story, 1920) Quiet, Please! (radio program, select episodes, 1947-1949) Dimension X (radio program, select episodes, 1950-1951) Richard Matheson, I Am Legend (novel, 1954) + I Am Legend (movie, 2007) The World, the Flesh, and the Devil (movie, 1959) On the Beach (movie, 1959) Judge Dredd (select comics from the late 1970s and 2012 movie) The Walking Dead (select comics and pilot episode of original TV series) Colson Whitehead, Zone One (novel, 2011) The Last of Us (videogame, 2013) Jeff Vandermeer, Borne (novel, 2017) Blade Runner 2049 (movie, 2017) 		Seminar 2 Dr. phil.

  • Saturday, 24.10.26, 10:00 - 19:00 o'clock
  • Sunday, 25.10.26, 10:00 - 19:00 o'clock

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. Inspired by 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. The focus of this seminar will be on imaginations that are connected to German and European colonialism and migration in different German eras. In the context of this seminar, we do a joint study trip to the museum Auswandererhaus (German Emigration Center) in Bremerhaven to explore different narratives and representations about Germany’s past and present connected to migration. With a selection of texts and short films we will examine issues of power relations, exclusion and inclusion, and their implications. 		Seminar - Dr. Sunday Omwenyeke

  • Tuesday, 08:00 - 10:00, Weekly (from 13.10.26)

Description:
Having successfully mastered your initial pedagogical internship (“Allgemeines Schulpraktikum”), the next step is a subject-specific programme for future teachers of English. You will focus on the necessities of the syllabus but also on recognised standards, e.g. the Common European Framework and educational standards established across Germany (“Bildungsstandards”). The course is designed to help you make the transition from your university-based view on teaching to actually mastering the complex role of a classroom practitioner. Since your internship is likely to take place in Lower Saxony, the most recent version of the Core Curriculum (2015 / 2018) will be explored and applied to the planning process of units of work and individual lessons. Participants are expected to critically analyse and develop complex tasks but also come up with short exercises and practice sessions as a means to foster language learning. Different teaching resources and textbooks will be studied against the backdrop of scientific insights into the subject. Lesson planning and creating units of work will be an integral part of the preparation for the upcoming field experience. A critical reflection of English lessons observed and taught during the initial pedagogical internship will serve as a basis for reflective lesson planning. A hands-on approach to developing key professional skills therefore involves • preparing and planning lessons and units of work, • realistic target setting • administrative skills such as reporting and recording, • assessment / testing and • planning for differentiation. By the end of the course you should be familiar with key requirements of lesson planning and teaching as well as the underlying principles of language learning. 		Exercises 2 Dr. Sylke Bakker

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND GOALS: In the history of colonialism, encounters and shifting power relations between incoming colonisers and the colonies’ indigenous populations have always played a pivotal role. They have also left a lasting, far-reaching impact that has endured long beyond the formal end of imperialism, into the post-independence histories, cultures, economies and politics of formerly colonised countries. This is especially the case in former ‘settler colonies’ where colonising incomers came to outweigh the indigenous peoples demographically and culturally – for instance in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. Despite the immense cultural and geographical differences between them, indigenous peoples in all those countries have often faced similar problems in their attempts to deal with those (post)colonial situations. This has given rise to ‘Comparative Indigenous Studies’ as a field of academic knowledge production. Comparative perspectives have also informed various projects of political and cultural activism (e.g. in order to intervene in post-colonial public memory discourses, build solidarity, form coalitions and learn from each other’s strategies), as well as literary productions. Comparative perspectives necessarily involve looking beyond one’s own particular culture, even if this is often done with the aim of safeguarding the latter’s specific ethnic traditions and rights. Such outward-looking perspectives have also been associated with a stance that is often called “indigenous cosmopolitanism” – but the cosmopolitan can also go further: beyond ‘merely’ seeking connections with other indigenous peoples, it can also involve an espousal of other transnational and transcultural connections. This course will provide an introduction to these issues, combining regionally specific introductions to selected indigenous cultures from different parts of the globe with comparative perspectives on (potentially) shared problems and strategies, an exploration of trans-indigenous alliances and solidarities, as well as analyses of texts that espouse various kinds of cosmopolitanism. Key topics for our discussions include colonial experiences and trauma, hybridity, survivance, educational and language debates, cultures of memory, interfaces of localism and translocalism, political solidarities, as well as the develop¬ment of new cultural forms. We will also investigate potential problems which comparative and cosmopolitan visions may involve. We will use a wide range of sources, including history and memory discourse, literary texts, statements by politicians and activists, and academic theory. Regions we’ll look at will definitely include (parts of) North American, Australia and New Zealand. Additional comparative perspectives (also on countries with smaller proportions of settlers, e.g. some of the smaller Pacific Islands) may also be included. SET TEXTS: Most of our set texts (literary & non-literary texts, filmic material, etc.) will be relatively short, and their selection will be finalised in consultation with students; to leave enough room for students to choose their own foci of interest. As a starting point, only a single text has already been set, of which you should definitely get a copy (but you don’t need to read this until after mid-December, by which time you’ll have the requisite background knowledge). It is: • Witi Ihimaera, “The Thrill of Falling” (a Maori novella from New Zealand), in Ihimaera, The Thrill of Falling, Auckland: Vintage 2012, pp. 208-312. (In Germany, this is only available as an e-book at present, but the e-book comes in different formats (see publisher’s website for an overview: https://www.penguin.co.nz/books/the-thrill-of-falling-9781869799212), and at least some of those formats (e.g. Amazon Kindle; price c.7 €) can also be read without an e-book reader, via a normal computer via a free app. So you should be able to purchase & read it OK. If you have problems with the e-book format, please contact S. Stroh for emergency advice. We’ll also purchase a copy of the book for the departmental library (Semesterapparat), as another emergency fall-back.) Most of our other set texts, once chosen, will be made available via our online course platform Stud.IP. OPTIONAL EXTRA READING: If you would like to do some preliminary / extra reading on social and literary history, and/or need advice on texts to read in preparation for your presentations, you will be able to access a bibliography of key introductory texts on Stud.IP from the beginning of term onwards. Some of those texts will also be made available via our course bookshelf in the university library. 		Seminar - Elliot Douglas

  • Thursday, 10:00 - 12:00, Weekly (from 15.10.26)

Description:
This course is designed to support your research and writing process when you are about to begin writing – or are in the midst of writing – your BA, MA or doctoral thesis; it will help you develop your ideas into a systematic research project as well as gain a more profound knowledge of postcolonial theories and concepts. In order to facilitate a writing process in which you do not only acquire expertise in the topic of your thesis, but in which you also enhance your writing skills as well as your knowledge in the field of postcolonial studies more generally, we will focus on practical matters first (such as how to prepare a research proposal and how to structure your writing process). Then, we will read up on and discuss those postcolonial theories, concepts and approaches which are the most useful for the research projects in our group. After this, each of you will have an entire session to present and discuss your research project and/or a draft chapter in order to further refine your research design.

Description:
The second part of the seminar builds on the main themes of the first seminar on representations, imaginations, narratives and power relations (see announcement for Part 1 in December). The focus this weekend will be on the German culture of remembrance after the Second World War with regard to National Socialism and the so-called German re-unification. We will deal with the question of how the memory of National Socialism in general and voices of Jews and other persecutees and survivors have long been, and still are, warded off and repressed. Further, we will look at how, especially survivors and their descendants have fought for and established spaces of remembrance. With regard to re-unification, the question also arises as to which events/voices and contents are remembered and which are suppressed and why, in societal discourse. Also of interest is how denial is linked to anti-Semitism and racism and how other/counter narratives can challenge anti-Semitic and racist conditions and relations. Part of this seminar is an excursion to the submarine bunker "Valentin" in Bremen-Farge, which was built by forced labourers under National Socialism. In addition, we will use selected texts and films to engage in a conversation about remembrance culture and representations in the German context. It is possible to participate in this second part independent of participation in the first part in December although we recommend you participate in both. 		Seminar - Dr. Sunday Omwenyeke

  • Thursday, 10:00 - 12:00, Weekly (from 15.10.26)

Description:
“How I detest the dawn. The grass looks as though it’s been left out all night” The Dark Corner (1946). The beautiful, seductive and dangerous femme fatale, the private eye, the anti-hero, chiaroscuro, low-key lighting, high-angle shots, rain-washed streets, scuttling footsteps fading into the distance, crime, corruption, death, suffering, paranoia, tragedy, unhappiness and existential despair are all characteristics of film noir, a genre of the 1940s and 1950s with its roots in German Expressionism. This course takes the example of film noir as a way of exploring evaluative and analytical film writing. Whilst websites such as Rotten Tomatoes tend to publish opinion-based reviews, academic film writing, like that found in the journal Sight & Sound, is based on a viewer’s “reading” of a film, which is supplemented by critical, technical analysis and argumentation. This course aims to develop your writing in both directions, enabling you to move from having an opinion on a film to augmenting your own “reading” of it with technical, genre-specific knowledge, subject-specific vocabulary and in-depth analysis.

  • Thursday, 10:00 - 11:00, Weekly (from 15.10.26)

Description:
The lecture "Research Methods in Linguisitcs" is a one-hour lecture that accompanies a seminar in the linguistic advanced modules (modules ang616, ang617, anf ang618). The weekly lectures cover general methodological contents, such as: - finding linguistic literature - the structure of linguistic research articles - principles of good academic practice - ethics in linguistic research - research questions in linguistic research - instruments of data collection in linguistics research (inlcuding critical discussions) - corpus linguistics as a method of data collection - linguistic posters and visualisations There is no separate form of assessment in the lecture course as all assessment in the advanced modules is done in the respective seminar. In isolation, there are no separate credit points available for the lecture as the lecture needs to be combined with a seminar from the advanced modules. A note to international students: You will not be able to obtain credit points for the lecture in isolation. If you want to obtain credit points, you will need to participate in a linguistic seminar AND take part in the lecture. 		Lecture - Dr. Ilka Flöck, she/ her

3.02.483 S Teaching Literature in the EFL Classroom
  • Tuesday, 10:00 - 12:00, Weekly (from 13.10.26)

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.

3.02.482 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, 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 lexico-grammar, reading comprehenion and speaking) to uncover underlying pedagogical choices and teaching strategies. 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 but practically applicable English lessons. Emphasis is placed on bridging theory and practice, enabling students to develop coherent, competence-centered lessons.

3.02.191 S Plurilingualism in the EFL Classroom
  • Tuesday, 08:00 - 10:00, Weekly (from 13.10.26)

Description:
In this seminar we are going to explore the multifaceted role of plurilingual competence understood as the ability to critically reflect and strategically use linguistic and cultural resources and knowledge across languages and its status as a pivotal component for effective intercultural communication and language learning. In doing so we will place a special focus on the unique position of English as a foreign language (EFL) both globally where English serves as a global (multi)lingua franca and within the German educational landscape where it holds a prominent status as the most frequently - and usually first – learned foreign language, making it not just a language of communication but also a gateway to intercultural understanding. Relevant educational policy documents such as the companion volume of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (2020), the Framework for Pluralistic Approaches to Languages and Cultures (2009), the KMK standards and the current curricula for Lower Saxony will provide us with a comprehensive framework to understand, describe and assess the plurilingual competence of EFL learners. Throughout this seminar, we will discuss various aspects of plurilingualism such as: intercomprehension understood as the ability to understand and make use of similarities between languages; mediation where language learners become proficient in interpreting and translating between languages as well as translanguaging, a phenomenon where learners fluidly move between languages to convey meaning illustrating the dynamic nature of plurilingualism. Additionally, we will work with language portraits, a visual representation of an individual's linguistic repertoire, which serves as a powerful tool for self-reflection and understanding one's plurilingual identity. Above all, the seminar aims at providing a practical perspective for educators on how to implement plurilingually sensitive teaching practices into the English language classroom in a feasible way. Key Words: plurilingualism, multilingualism, translanguaging, plurilingual competence, English as a foreign language, English as a multilingua franca, intercomprehension, mediation, foreign language learning/teaching/education Assessment formats: oral presentation + written report or term paper 		Seminar 2 Dr. Christian Kramer, he/him

3.02.981 S Travel Narratives in Fiction and Beyond
  • Wednesday, 16:00 - 18:00, Weekly (from 14.10.26)

Description:
Travel narratives have been part of the European public sphere for centuries. They are connected with the histories of globalisation, of European imperial expansion, of 'exploration' and colonialism. Whether they are labelled as novel or memoir, they straddle the boundaries between literature, history and personal reporting, between fact and fiction, in their own characteristic ways. The term travel covers a wide range of different forms and purposes of mobility, individual and collective. It is entangled in multiple and complex ways with the geopolitical frameworks in which it occurs and is made possible (or indeed obstructed). There has been an abundance of research done already on many of the aspects of travel writing from the late middle ages to the present, and across different cultural contexts of travel and travel literature. Against this background, this course offers spotlights on a diverse set of travel narratives, from the late 17th century (parts of William Dampier's New Voyage Round the World) across 18th century novelistic travel writing (Laurence Sterne's Sentimental Journey) and 19th century exploratory travel (Mary Kingsley's Travels in West Africa) to contemporary 21st century travel writing (Emmanuel Iduma's A Stranger's Pose). These texts have been rarely read together, but the combination offers exciting additional insights. Students will become familiar with theoretical approaches to the concepts of travel and travel writing, as well as to their histories (including 'mobilities theory' and 'mobility justice'). We will then move on to engage and examine the various forms of travel writing in our primary texts, and seek out the connections that show how very different texts by very different writers/ travellers mutually shed light on each other. The course will experiment with a combination of two formats: • The groundwork for the seminar will be done in weekly meetings in the traditional seminar format. • This will be complemented in the second half of the semester by a 'student conference', a bloc-meeting where all the student presentations will be given and discussed in a concentrated workshop format. The student conference is planned for Friday January 22 (14-17.30) and Saturday January 23 (10-13, 14-17.30). (Participants should make sure that they can be there for the entire student conference!) A corresponding number of the weekly meetings in December and January will be suspended in compensation for the time required for the student conference. The course will also involve an experimental form of co-teaching, connecting the universities of Oldenburg and Bremen. A course with a parallel programme is being taught at the University of Bremen by Dr Anna Auguscik. The weekly meetings will take place in parallel at each university. The student conference, and presentations, will include all students of both seminars (with complementary rather than identical topics) and will take place at the University of Oldenburg. Students who are enrolled in the MA English Studies may obtain the 3 KP for their "project" if they engage in the preparation and organisation of the 'student conference' (a process that will allow them to gain experience with an important practical side of academic research). Please contact me if you are interested in being part of the student conference organisation team. PRIMARY TEXTS - Students should purchase and read the following two texts: (NOTE: The use of the right editions matters greatly. Do not pay too much money for an edition that will be useless! There are many overpriced and untrustworthy editions sold on Amazon and other outlets, often with deceptive fake 'scholarly-looking' covers. These are not suitable, and the prices are often higher than for the trustworthy editions. You should be able to find the two trustworthy editions at reasonable prices, either new or second-hand, or indeed as e-books. All those options are suitable!) • Iduma, Emmanuel, A Stranger’s Pose. London: Abuja, 2018. and • Sterne, Laurence, A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy [1768]. Ed. Paul Goring. London: Penguin Classics, 2001. [or alternatively: • Sterne, Laurence, A Sentimental Journey [1768] and Other Writings, ed. Tim Parnell, Oxford World’s Classics, Oxford University Press, 2008.] • Regarding Kingsley's Travels in West Africa and Dampier's New Voyage Round the World, we will work with substantial extracts and selections; these will be made available on Stud.IP.

3.02.996 S Literary Theory for MA Students: Taking Narrative Theory beyond Literary Studies
  • Thursday, 18:00 - 20:00, Weekly (from 15.10.26)

Description:
In recent years, ‘Narrative’ has become a buzz word far beyond literary studies. Many disciplines in the humanities have taken a ‘narrative turn’, and many public debates have revolved around the rise or the rejection of certain ‘narratives.’ But to date, we still seem to be lacking established conceptions for the description and analysis of these diverse kinds of narrative. The field of narratology has produced theoretical approaches and descriptive tools to literary narrative that are familiar to all students of literature today. But a “universal narratology” remains one of the unfinished projects in the theory of narrative. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, a number of proposals has been made in the fields of literary studies and philosophy about how to approach ‘non-literary narratives’. This course will focus on narratives outside the confines of literature. It has a professionalising dimension, since current students may come to work in areas where they encounter ‘non-literary’ narratives, which may be relevant in various forms to their future work settings. The course began approaching this topic in the previous semester, but will be open to new participants. We will recapitulate the recent attempts to theorise and develop analytical toolkits for “factual narratives” as well as our preliminary ideas about how to modify the institute’s ‘narratology handout’ in order to make it work also for non-literary narratives. We will then turn to discuss practical examples. The course will have a total of seven meetings. The course plan will be agreed in the first meeting. I will make suggestions as well as invite suggestions and ideas from the participants. The course should be driven by the specific interests that participants bring to it. The course is open to individual ways of obtaining credits proportional to the type and scope of students’ contributions (generally 3 KP, as part of one of the suitable MA modules; options for BA credits also exist, but unfortunately not within the M.Ed. programmes). Relevant materials will be made available in Stud.IP. 		Exercises 1 Prof. Dr. Anton Kirchhofer
