This course will give an introduction to the concepts of culture, cultural awareness and stereotypes with an emphasis on contemporary Anglo-German relations. We will discuss fictional and non-fictional texts on the different aspects of stereotypes, their use in language, literature, everyday life and the media. In group work and presentations students will be able to explore cultural, social and national stereotypes as well as to practice how cultural knowledge and awareness can be used in practical language training, i. e. in the EFL classroom. Course Readings: Donald, Ben. Springtime for Germany: or how I learned to love Lederhosen. Little, Brown 2007. ISBN: 978-0-316-73247-5 A course reader containing additional texts will be available at Kopiersysteme Ewald Priebe on Segerothstr. 81 after the first session. |
