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) taking place on 2nd February 2026.
