Description
Please note that places on this course are subject to availabilty. While students who already have a bachelor`s degree receive top priority, undergraduate students may not be considered. If you have not submitted your bachelor`s thesis yet and hope to gain credit points for your Master`s course prior to receiving your degree, you are only invited if there are enough places left.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Looking at recent editions of ELT journals, a number of "trending" topics becomes apparent.
Unsurprisingly, the productive use of AI in ELT contexts dominates the picture. Hence, this class is going to focus on aspects of different ELF-related skills such as reading and listening but also writing and speaking in the digital classroom. Besides, multimodalitity and blended learning are taken into consideration.
Another set of relevant topics is connected to the increasingly diverse and multilingual setting of ELT. Plurilingualism and English as Lingua Franca are covered against the backdrop of issues of social justice ("language of hope and advocacy").
When rethinking language learning and teaching, 21st Century Skills and Critical Thinking Skills as well as the general concept of inclusivity come to mind.
All the aspects mentioned above will be explored by looking at relevant research from established authorities and developing and assessing teaching materials and lesson plans.
Participants are expected to sharpen their analytical skills by critically assessing materials against the backdrop of a sound foundation of ELT principles. Participants are required to be extremely familiar with Prof. Gehring`s (or Prof. Surkamp`s) textbook on ELT ("Fachdidaktik Englisch", "Teaching English").
Coursework comprises different samples of work as part of a comprehensive portfolio. Higher order thinking skills are at the centre of what participants are expected to display.
Students are required to archive chat logs associated with their coursework. If necessary, the lecturer can review these logs to assess whether students engaged critically and thoughtfully with AI tools.
Credit is only awarded for AI-assisted submissions when the AI-footnote or chat log(s) demonstrate that students thoroughly reviewed and refined the AI-generated content, showing meaningful interaction with the tools and oversight of every word.
