This course is meant to support your own teaching during the school practice and thus it will provide a toolkit to create successful English lessons. You will learn how to plan and organize your interesting lessons (Stundenverlaufsplan), how to maintain a level of discipline and attentiveness in your classroom, how to give instructions and how to motivate your students. This course will offer some theory how people learn a foreign language but it is also a hands-on approach, i.e. we will experience how different classroom arrangements and teaching methods and techniques work.
Since we have successful programs with partner schools you are required to be part of this. For your practical you will have the choice between these schools:
- Helmholtz Gymnasium, Essen (see below Osieck and Nobis)
- Gesamtschule Holsterhausen, Essen (your choice)
- Grundschule an der Waldlehne, Essen (your choice)
- Bardeleben Schule (Grundschule), Essen (your choice)
- Albert-Schweizer-/Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium, Marl: Thursday (13:30 – 15:00 Uhr)
- and additional pre-selected schools
However, if you will be doing/have done your practical abroad you are welcome to join this course. |
