Introduction to English Grammar (Vorlesung) 4002002<br />
2 SWS ab 1. Sem. Mo 12-14 HS 5 RSt. 1 Heike Gericke<br />
This lecture is intended to give a survey of Modern English grammar in order to provide<br />
students with basic theoretical knowledge of word phrases and their constituents, their<br />
syntactic behaviour within simple sentences, and of multiple sentences in English.<br />
Participants are required to attend regularly and actively, and to take a written test (Klausur).<br />
maximum participants: 150<br />
Canadian Literature in English: A Survey (Vorlesung) 4002036<br />
2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Mo 14-16 HS 4 RSt. 1 Hartmut Lutz<br />
Starting with examples of Aboriginal Oral Traditions, this lecture will then trace the history of<br />
Anglophone Canadian Literature from the colonial beginnings to contemporary (Post-)<br />
Modernism. Special attention will be given to the development of writings by women, and<br />
how class, race and gender intersect with space and place. Another emphasis will be put on<br />
Canadian multiculturalism and how various immigrant groups from African, Asian,<br />
Caribbean, and European countries assert, reconstruct or indigenize their literary expressions.<br />
For background reading please consult: Kanadische Literaturgeschichte, hgg. Konrad Gross,<br />
Wolfgang Klooss, Reingard M. Nischik (Stuttgart und Weimar: J. B. Metzler, 2005).<br />

The Road to Present-Day English: From Old English to EWL (Vorlesung/Proseminar)<br />
4002005<br />
2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Di 08-10 HS RSt. 2 Sebastian Knospe<br />
In this class, we shall trace decisive stages in the historical development of the English<br />
language, following the road from Old via Middle and Early Modern to Present-Day English.<br />
The course will provide students with essential knowledge in language history and historical<br />
linguistics. This will, for instance, allow you to find an answer to the question of why Present-<br />
Day English is characterised by a mixed vocabulary and by irregular grammatical patterns.<br />
However, the course contents will also provide you with key competences required for the<br />
linguistic analysis of authentic texts from older language periods. In our ‘tour’ through the<br />
history of English, we shall illustrate the structural changes on the phonological, grammatical<br />
and lexical levels along with their respective language-internal and external causes. In so<br />
doing, we shall also keep an eye on the gradual emergence of a linguistic standard. Finally,<br />
we shall have a look at the expansion of English, which laid the foundation for its present<br />
position as a World Language (EWL).<br />
maximum participants: 100<br />

This lecture will provide students with a detailed overview of linguistic aspects relating to<br />
English as the major areal and functional language of our time. To begin with, we will look at<br />
the current use of English as a world language including more traditional topic areas like<br />
regional varieties, national standard vs. vernacular Englishes as well as post-colonial and New<br />
Englishes. Apart from that, we will examine processes and consequences of language contact<br />
and the internationalisation of communication practices and technologies. A reader will be<br />
made available to assist and guide participants through the material and facilitate checking up<br />
on course contents and methodologies.<br />

Media Project (Übung) 4002059<br />
2 SWS ab 4. Sem. Mi 18-20 R 34 Anette Brauer<br />
As future teachers, you will probably be asked to offer your students projects that go beyond<br />
regular English classes. Here is your chance to learn from experience AND become a student<br />
activist. The goal of this semester’s media project is to produce a 15-minute program<br />
compiled of little stories, commentaries, and news flashes à la Onion TV or The Daily Show<br />
with the help of dedicated fellow students, standard camcorders and common editing<br />
programs. Are you creative? Talented in storytelling? Willing to work in front of or behind a<br />
camera? In a team? Then this is for you.<br />
Successful participation will be rewarded with a Medienschein and a few minutes of fame.<br />

Contact linguistics (Proseminar) 4002033<br />
2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Do 08-10 R 23 Melanie Burmeister<br />
The number of languages in today’s world is estimated at about 6,000. Thus most of us live in<br />
multilingual societies where different languages are in contact with each other. The<br />
consequences of such contact situations for societies and for the individuals living in these<br />
societies will be the topic of this seminar. Sessions on societal multilingualism will cover<br />
important aspects of language endangerment and language death and will try to show how<br />
(official) language policy and language planning can influence such scenarios. Moreover, we<br />
will speak about how long-term bilingualism within a community can influence the structures<br />
of languages involved, e.g. processes of borrowing and the emergence of mixed languages.<br />
When focussing on the individuals living in multilingual societies, we will distinguish<br />
between early and late bilingualism and the acquisition of a foreign language, thereby<br />
including aspects of language processing and code-switching.<br />

Apart from the British Isles and Northern America, English is also spoken in many countries<br />
throughout Asia, mainly as an L2-variety, but also as a very popular foreign language that<br />
many desire to learn. In this course we will look at some Asian varieties of the English<br />
language and familiarize ourselves with their distinct linguistic features and their specific<br />
sociolinguistic context. These include L2-varieties such as Pakistani and Indian English,<br />
English spoken on the Philippines, in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. In addition to that<br />
we will look at the spread and patterns of use of English in countries where it is a foreign<br />

Huckleberry Finn and American Realism (Proseminar) 4002040<br />
2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Mi 16-18 R 23 Martin Holtz<br />
Samuel Langhorne Clemens’ (Mark Twain’s) classic novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn<br />
(1884) is essential reading for every student of American literature. It continues to be of<br />
eminent significance for the discussion of the nation’s cultural heritage. The various readings<br />
the text has been given in the course of its reception also highlight the changing<br />
preoccupations of American literary criticism. We will take the discussion of Huck Finn as a<br />
starting point for the exploration of late 19 th century realism, regionalism and naturalism, and<br />
additionally read texts by writers Henry James, Kate Chopin, Charlotte Perkins Gilman,<br />
Charles Chesnutt, Stephen Crane, and Frank Norris. Participants need to obtain a copy of<br />
Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: An Authoritative Text, Context, and Sources<br />

The Future is Now: Contemporary American Sci-Fi Literature (Proseminar) 4002041<br />
2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Do 12-14 R 34 Anette Brauer<br />
With the first decade of the new millennium coming to an end, science fiction has – according<br />
to some – been replaced by fantasy, a popular literature centering on the fight between good<br />
and evil rather than on the indeterminate sci-fi question of “What if?” Yet, recent successful<br />
Hollywood movies have picked up 20 th century sci-fi topics, motifs, and stories in films<br />
(remakes, sequels, prequels) such as Terminator and Star Trek to explore the complex social<br />
issues at the beginning 21 st century.<br />
This seminar will look at a) how societal issues and ethical questions are reflected in<br />
contemporary American Sci-fi literature, especially short narratives, b) how (and why) classic<br />
sci-fi is being revived (e.g. Asimov’s I, Robot) in recent movie productions, and c) it will<br />
14
invite interested students to argue whether 21 st -century fantasy literature has indeed potentials<br />
(and meaning) beyond pure entertainment.<br />

American Renaissance: Literature in the Age of Romanticism (Proseminar) 4002037<br />
2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Do 12-14 R 21 Martin Holtz<br />
In his address “The American Scholar,” held at Harvard University in 1837, Ralph Waldo<br />
Emerson called for the development of a distinctly American cultural identity in the face of a<br />
continuing European influence strongly felt sixty years after the Declaration of Independence.<br />
The early 19 th century is often taken to be the decisive period when America discovered its<br />
inherent potential for shaping a unique (literary) culture, based on the tenets of<br />
transcendentalist philosophy (Emerson, Thoreau), inventive prose narratives rich with<br />
symbolism and Gothic atmosphere (Poe, Hawthorne, Melville), and vibrant cutting-edge<br />
poetry (Whitman, Dickinson). In this seminar we will read and discuss essential texts of the<br />
American Renaissance which established the complex mosaic of the nation’s literary heritage,<br />
tracing their uniquely American qualities and their appropriations of (European) Romanticist<br />
traditions. Students need to obtain a copy of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlett Letter.<br />
Additional texts are to be found in the Heath Anthology or will be provided as master copies.<br />

Ever since the days of Dante and Petrarch the history of European poetry has been<br />
unthinkable without the sonnet. After a brief consideration of its origins, we shall read and<br />
discuss a selection of works in this ubiquitous form, from its introduction into England by<br />
Wyatt and Surrey in the time of Henry VIII to the present. (Sonnets are less common now, but<br />
they are still being written; and of course the majority are on love, but not all ...)<br />

This seminar will look at various screen adaptations of the play Hamlet. This, being one of the<br />
most often produced Shakespeare plays on stage, inspires film directors worldwide. We will<br />
look at Hamlet adaptations by Lawrence Olivier, Franko Zeffirelli, Kenneth Branagh and<br />
Michael Almereyda. We will also discuss Herbert Fritsch’s ongoing project, Hamlet_X, and<br />
the internationally acclaimed Chinese adaptation, Feng Xiaogang’s The Banquet. How do<br />
those directors approach the character Hamlet? How are the corrupt political affairs of a rotten<br />
Denmark transported into twentieth and twenty-first century society? How are the motifs of<br />
revenge, madness and sexuality presented in these productions? These are only some of the<br />
questions the seminar aims to answer. The productions discussed will be shown in their<br />
entirety outside of class; dates to be confirmed in the first week of class.<br />

Henry Fielding: Tom Jones (Seminar) 4002049<br />
2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Di 16-18 R 34 James Fanning<br />
Tom Jones (1749) is noted for the vitality of its characters and the complexity of its plot. In<br />
following the vicissitudes of its impetuous but good-hearted hero, the novel also gives a<br />
panorama of English life in the mid-18 th century. However there is more to it than that: in the<br />
introductory chapters to the 18 ‘books’ Fielding provides the first comprehensive theoretical<br />
writing on the novel in English. We shall examine the novel both as a text in itself and as a<br />
document of the Augustan Age; also, towards the end of the semester we shall compare two<br />
film versions with Fielding’s original work.<br />
Ideally, students should buy the Norton Critical Edition (this contains comprehensive notes<br />
which will help you to understand the text, as well as a good selection of secondary material),<br />
and read the whole novel before the beginning of the semester.<br />

Imagining the Nation: From the British Empire to Multicultural Britain (Seminar)<br />
4002051<br />
2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Mi 16-18 R 34 Andrew Mills<br />
During the latter part of the 19th Century and especially after 1876, when Queen Victoria was<br />
made Empress of India, the British Empire was fundamental to how British people understood<br />
themselves as a nation. By the end the 1950’s the British Empire was all but gone as an<br />
effective political force. How was Britain to understand itself after the end of the Empire? In<br />
many ways this question has still not been answered fully. The UK is a part of the EU, yet not<br />
always comfortable with understanding itself as European. Multiculturalism is official<br />
government policy and increasingly this has become the model for how the nation<br />
understands itself, yet racial tensions are rife in the country. Using a range of original and<br />
academic texts we will look at these different images of the nation, and how they contribute to<br />
and elucidate current cultural and social tensions in the UK.<br />

In this seminar we will explore Victorian poetry at its best. This exploration will take us to<br />
Alfred Tennyson, Emily Jane Brontë, William Wordsworth, Lewis Carroll and many other<br />
Victorian poets. Against the background of Darwin’s theory of evolution, the Crimean War,<br />
Nietzsche’s nihilism and the awakening of the Pre-Raphaelites, the works of these poets<br />
became mirrors of their society. As a basis for the seminar, we will use Christopher Ricks<br />

Introduction to Postcolonialism (Seminar) 4002044<br />
2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Do 14-16 R 34 Andrew Mills<br />
Although there are many ways of defining the term, in this class we’ll look at postcolonialism<br />
both as a loosely connected set of novels about life in former colonies of Britain, and as a way<br />
of re-reading canonical texts and traditions of British literature and culture. To this end we’ll<br />
look at some of the major novels and theoretical statements by postcolonial writers and<br />
thinkers. If you wish to start reading during the semester break, please buy the following<br />
editions of the novels. For the first class, I will expect you will have and have read Defoe’s<br />

2 SWS ab 2. Sem. Do 16-18 R 34 James Fanning<br />
In this seminar we shall first discuss the still controversial question of why the world’s<br />
industrial revolution began in England in the 18 th century. Then we shall consider some of the<br />
prominent inventions and developments, seeing how they interacted with other phenomena of<br />
the period, such as the consolidation of British power in India, the Napoleonic wars,<br />
Parliamentary reform and much more. We shall then look at how the industrial revolution<br />
affected the everyday lives of the people and their culture (e.g. food, fashions, housing and<br />
architecture, health, politics, literature, painting).<br />
You should buy and read Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel North and South (1855). Other texts for<br />

‘Under Western Eyes’: Eastern Europe and Russia in British Fiction (Seminar) 4002055<br />
2 SWS ab 3. Sem. Blockseminar 6.-9.4.10, 16-21, R 21 Michael Szczekalla<br />
The implosion of the Soviet Union and its aftermath has attracted a number of British writers<br />
of fiction. The approaching centenary of Joseph Conrad’s Under Western Eyes (1911) affords<br />
the occasion to show how much at least some of these contemporary authors are still indebted<br />
to the Polish émigré. “My eyes, in the Conradian sense, have stopped being Western and<br />
started being Eastern,” the unamiable octogenarian narrator of Martin Amis’s House of<br />
Meetings (2006) tells his readers. Like Julian Barnes’s The Porcupine (1991), Tibor Fischer’s<br />
Under The Frog (1992), Carl Tighe’s Burning Worm (2001), Nicholas Shakespeare’s<br />
Snowleg (2004), or even Ian McEwan’s somewhat earlier The Innocent (1990), it allows us to<br />
study what happens when cultural memory crosses national boundaries. These novels also<br />
exhibit particularly intriguing forms of genre crossing. Their generic affiliations range from<br />
tragedy (Amis and Barnes) via comedy (Fischer) and romance (Shakespeare) to spy fiction<br />
(McEwan) and fictional memoir (Amis, Tighe). The seminar will try to assess their<br />
contribution to the transformation of cultural memory by focussing on the dialectics of<br />
blindness and insight that results from a foreign perspective.<br />
Texts: Students should have read Under Western Eyes (Penguin), House of Meetings<br />
(Vintage), and, if possible, also one of the other novels by the beginning of the first meeting.<br />

Lexicology: synchronic and diachronic aspects (Hauptseminar) 4002071<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Mo 14-16 R 23 Sebastian Knospe & Amei Koll-Stobbe<br />
In this seminar, we shall study the structure and evolution of the English lexicon, bringing<br />
together synchronic and historical aspects. As to Present-Day English, we shall cover issues<br />
such as word formation, sense relations, lexical fields and theories of cognitive representation,<br />
but also analyse lexical variation in varieties of World English. From a diachronic point of<br />
view, we shall focus on meaning change, on processes and results of language contact (e.g.<br />
with Latin, French, but also with more ‘exotic’ languages) as well as on factors that lead to<br />
linguistic expressions becoming obsolete. Last but not least, we shall have a look at<br />
dictionaries available for past and present English and at the work of lexicographers.<br />

English in India: Language and Identity in a multilingual Asian nation (Hauptseminar)<br />
4002072<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Di 16-18 R 23 Amei Koll-Stobbe<br />
In this Hauptseminar we are going to study the particularities of English in India from<br />
different points of view, bringing together historical, linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects.<br />
Students will thus not only gain knowledge on the specific phonological, grammatical, lexical<br />
and pragmatic characteristics of Indian English, but also follow the road the language has<br />
taken from the times of its ‘transplantation’ by the British colonizers up to the present day.<br />
Here, the focus will be on the status of English as a second language/dialect in a multilingual<br />
country, its relation to autochthonous languages like Hindi and Urdu and various local<br />
varieties as well as on questions of identity and linguistic competence which arise particularly<br />
in the light of code-switching and code-mixing practices that occur both in everyday life and<br />
in postcolonial literature. Work in class will be largely project-based.<br />

Language performance across the life-span: the age factor (Hauptseminar) 4002073<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Mi 08-10 R 23 Amei Koll-Stobbe<br />
This Hauptseminar will deal with age as a sociolinguistic variable. The focus will be on<br />
changes in language and language use which occur from childhood through adolescence and<br />
mature adulthood up to advanced age. In addressing this topic, we will include findings from<br />
social psychology and sociology, pointing out the shift from a conception of age as a<br />
biologically conditioned factor to a view of age as a flexible and socially negotiable construct.<br />
Additionally, we will take into account results of sociolinguistic research that illustrate<br />
convergent and divergent features of language production of young, grown-up and elderly<br />
language speakers as well as findings from psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics,<br />
confronting notions of age as maturation with conceptions of age as decay in relation to<br />
language use and communicative competence. Finally, we will study the construction of age<br />
in public discourse, e.g. in press language and advertising. Students must be willing to give a<br />
presentation based on a self-study project.<br />

Linguistic semscapes: Written forms of communicative interactions in multicultural city<br />
spaces (Hauptseminar) 4002074<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Mi 10-12 R 23 Amei Koll-Stobbe<br />
In recent years an increasing number of sociolinguists have started to take a closer look at<br />
language around us displayed on shop windows, commercial signs, posters, official notices,<br />
graffiti and other displays of written language visible in the public sphere. In this seminar we<br />
will learn how to analyze the cityscapes of multilingual urban agglomerations, an approach<br />
that gives insights into spread, functional domains and prestige of languages in multicultural<br />
settings and relates to other fields in linguistics such as social semiotics, language policy and<br />
phenomena of language contact and change. Students are expected to embark on self-study<br />
and data-collecting projects and to give presentations in class.<br />

Holocaust Literature (Hauptseminar) 4002077<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Mo 10-12 R 24 Hartmut Lutz<br />
After the end of the Nazi holocaust, survivors felt that there would be “no poetry after<br />
Auschwitz” (T. W. Adorno), or they considered “silence as the deepest form of respect for the<br />
Holocaust victims” (Eli Wiesel and George Steiner), but as time went on, they began to<br />
realize that they had to bear witness to the unspeakable horror they had gone through by<br />
writing down their experiences for the coming generations. Collective traumas are transgenerational.<br />
In this seminar we will read and discuss diaries and memoirs of holocaust<br />
survivors as well as fictional recreations and reflections by contemporaries and later<br />
generations. Students should obtain copies of Eli Wiesel’s Night (1960), Isaac Bashevis<br />
Singer’s Enemies, A Love Story (1972), Walter Abish’s How German Is It? (1979/80), and<br />
Eva Stachniak’s Necessary Lies (Canada, 2000). Additional short texts will be made available<br />
during the term. All participants are expected to submit 4 pp. fact sheets/book reports for our<br />
classroom discussions. Scheine will be based on term papers .<br />

Un/Covering the North: Canadian Literature (Hauptseminar) 4002078<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Mo, 14tägig 10-14, R 21 Geneviève Susemihl<br />
The North is Canada – Canada is the North. It is its Northern image that distinguishes Canada<br />
from the United States in the eyes of many people who do not live in North America. But<br />
even to a Canadian the North seems to be more than a geographical region. It is an idea, a<br />
myth, a promise, a destiny, a world of imagination, and as such it has shaped Canadian<br />
identity. Especially the last couple of years have brought an explosion of interest in the North<br />
and a departure from traditional perspectives.<br />
This course aims to explore the North in Canadian Literature, where is has mostly been<br />
configured as a space for the male Western imagination. In recent decades, however, this<br />
rendition of the North has been challenged by women writers. Also, with the foundation of<br />
the territory of Nunavut in 1999, when the Inuit regained control over their land, the North<br />
became increasingly visible as a homeland and more oral literatures of the Inuit were recorded<br />
and translated into written English.<br />
Texts will include Mordecai Richler’s Solomon Gursky Was Here, Margaret Atwood’s<br />
Strange Things. The Malevolent North in Canadian Literature and Tomson Highway’s Kiss<br />
of the Fur Queen. Additional texts will be provided as master copies. Since this course is a<br />
BLOCKSEMINAR you will have to come prepared for the first double session.<br />

An Introduction to (American) Women’s Studies (Hauptseminar) 4002079<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Mi 12-14 R 23 Anette Brauer<br />
When Barack Obama won the nomination of the Democratic Party for presidency over Hillary<br />
Clinton in 2008, critical voices argued that it was easier for the American society to admit and<br />
overcome racism than acknowledge the existence of sexism. True, after more than 200 years<br />
of women’s movements in the USA, American women have made progress towards<br />
sexual/social equality and this seminar will pay tribute to both their fights and their<br />
achievements. However, if we examine the individual, media and social perspectives on<br />
women’s roles in the USA more closely, we will come across surprisingly persisting<br />
conservative cultural values that still guide men’s and women’s behaviour, both consciously<br />
and subconsciously. Grounded in feminist theories, we will analyze American culture from a<br />
women’s studies’ point of view and specifically focus on the deconstruction of gender roles.<br />

New Hollywood (Hauptseminar) 4002076<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Mi 12-14 R 34 Martin Holtz<br />
film session: Di 18-20 R 34<br />
1967 proved a watershed year in the history of American cinema. The releases of The<br />
Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde ushered in a new era of filmmaking, quickly dubbed ‘New<br />
Hollywood’ by critics and industry. The break with the traditions of classical Hollywood was<br />
23
manifested on various levels, economically by the breakdown of the studio system and the<br />
breakthrough of independent production, aesthetically by the innovative use of the medium<br />
that a new generation of filmmakers (Scorsese, Coppola, Altman, Spielberg) brought to the<br />
screen, ideologically by the committed and occasionally daring critique of American politics<br />
in plenty of films. For all its innovations, ‘New Hollywood’ also paved the way for the<br />
mainstream cinema of today when its creative potential petered out in the late 1970s. We will<br />
watch and analyze some of the most popular and some of the more obscure examples of this<br />
transitional period in American cinema, with respect to the socio-cultural contexts of civil<br />
rights movement, Vietnam War, and counter-culture.<br />

Canadian Northern Development (Hauptseminar) 4002080<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Do 10-12 R 24 Peter Kulchyski<br />
This course will begin with a look at the arctic and subarctic environments before turning to<br />
description of indigenous cultures of these regions in Canada. The course will then turn to the<br />
history of colonialism and decolonization in northern Canada, and, finally, an examination of<br />
contemporary developments and conflicts. The emphasis will be on the Yukon, Northwest<br />
and Nunavut territories. Particular events that will be discussed include the gold rush in the<br />
Yukon, the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline proposals of the mid seventies and today, and issues<br />
around global warming in Nunavut. Contemporary indigenous community life among Dene<br />
and Inuit will also be a focus of concern in the course.<br />

Aboriginal Cultures and Cultural Politics in Canada (Hauptseminar) 4002081<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Do 14-16 R 23 Peter Kulchyski<br />
This course will look at the place of Aboriginal peoples in the cultural history of Canada. In<br />
the first hundred years of Canadian history, Aboriginal peoples were culturally ‘excluded’<br />
from the national project, through art practice such as that of the Group of Seven constructing<br />
a notion of empty wilderness, through to the historical and anthropological writings of Harold<br />
Innis and Diamond Jenness in the 1930s. Beginning in the seventies a cultural shift takes<br />
place, in which Aboriginal culture become ‘appropriated’ for the national project, though with<br />
equally problematic results for indigenous communities and artistic practitioners. The course<br />
will draw on examples from visual arts, literature, popular culture, performing arts and film.<br />

In his tetralogy Shakespeare gives us a fictional representation of the devastating period of the<br />

the ambitious and Machiavellian Richard of Gloucester’s sequences of crimes and murders<br />
gained the throne for him as King Richard III. Richard’s reign comes to its end in the Battle of<br />

Salman Rushdie was born in 1947, the year in which India gained independence after<br />

he deals with a rising generation of Indians, including a group born during the very night of<br />
25
August 15 th , 1947, when Indian independence became reality. The magic-realist chronicle of<br />
an upper-middle-class Muslim family narrated by Rushdie’s hero Saleem Sinai is also a<br />
panorama of 20 th -century Indian society and history, concentrating on postcolonial India and<br />
the problem of a divided country.<br />

Early Englisch language learning and chances of transition (Proseminar/Hauptseminar)<br />
4002093<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Mo 12-14 R 34 Margitta Kuty<br />
In Germany English language learning does not start at the age of 10 or 11 at a Realschule or<br />
Gymnasium. Even in kindergarten children play, sing and dance in English (we do have a<br />
group of successful student teachers of English in one of Greifswald’s kindergartens!) What<br />
does early language learning mean: when does it start, why is it so popular to start earlier?<br />
What are the topics and methods? What kind of material is used? Finally we will turn our<br />
attention to English learning at primary-school level and transition: what do children learn and<br />
what can we as (subsequent) teachers expect in English? How should successful lessons be<br />
planned to activate all learners? How can we keep the motivation of the students high? At the<br />
end of this seminar you will have a collection of ideas and material for different topics and<br />
levels (primary school and transition).<br />

Nowadays teaching English at school requires more than just knowing how to work with a<br />

inventive and enriched with multimedia. In this seminar we will discuss the chances that the<br />
medium film offers to the English classroom. In addition to general theoretical reflections we<br />
will try to get some practical experience with film, so that each of the participants will be able<br />
to acquire a collection of outlines for possible lessons operating with films. You will get the<br />
chance to plan teaching units for different grades on themes like trailers, teasers, soundtracks,<br />
film clips, commercials, internet videos and self-made videos.<br />

es an den Schulen? Welche Ziele verfolgen sie und wie gehe ich als Lehrer[in] damit in<br />
meinem Unterricht um?<br />
Um jedoch nicht nur theoretisch über Vor- und Nachteile von Portfolios zu diskutieren,<br />
beschäftigen wir uns ganz praktisch mit einem international anerkannten und von der<br />
Europäischen Union geförderten Lehramtsportfolio: European Portfolio for Student Teachers<br />
of Languages (EPOSTL), erproben es (an uns und einigen Probanden) und ‚erforschen‘ den<br />

Shakespeare in the English classroom (Proseminar) 4002091<br />
2 SWS ab 5. Sem. Mi 16-18 R 24 Anne Wolf<br />
As reading Shakespeare forms part of the curriculum in the German Gymnasium (and its<br />
equivalent in many other European countries), future English teachers sooner or later will<br />
have to think about how to present Shakespeare and his times to their students. In this course,<br />
we will deal with at least two plays (Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth) and discuss the<br />
profoundly human – and often still very modern – issues they raise. Besides, we will also take<br />
a look at (some of) Shakespeare’s sonnets, watch at least one film, find pictures from<br />
Shakespeare’s times… and use our creativity to elaborate tasks and lesson plans for students<br />
of the higher grades. By the end of the semester, we should all have a nice collection of<br />
material that our students (hopefully) will find interesting!<br />

This course aims to look into various topics connected with Cultural Studies and their<br />
potential for the English language classroom. We will try to figure out what is meant when we<br />
talk about ‘culture’ in general and how this culture is transmitted and perceived in other<br />
culture groups, with reference to such topics as stereotypes, customs, traditions and taboos.<br />
Following that we will go on trying to find methods of how these topics can be taught in class<br />
through various media such as pictures, texts, auditory and audiovisual means as well as the<br />
World Wide Web. The target will be to establish a collection of tasks which may provide a<br />
basis for interactive and communicative intercultural learning and a wide range of material<br />
which the participants of the course can fall back on when they come to plan and hold their<br />
own lessons in the ‘Sekundarstufe I’.<br />

Literary and non-literary texts, listening, films, grammar, enriching the students’ vocabulary<br />
and grading are essential elements in advanced learners’ classes at school. This seminar will<br />
provide some theoretical basics on these topics, but will mainly focus on what can be offered<br />
to students with regard to content and what might be motivating when improving the students’<br />
command of the language. Questions on how to deal with the aforementioned subjects will<br />
lead to various discussions. Additionally we will have a critical look at how student work can<br />
be appropriately graded in the respective contexts. At the end of the seminar you will have a<br />
list of useful material related to each topic that will help you to effectively prepare classes at<br />
school.<br />

Application of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)<br />
in British and American Studies (Anglistik/Amerikanistik) at the University of Greifswald,<br />
Basic Principles:<br />
1. Each semester, 30 ECTS points must be collected for the subject chosen within the<br />
SOCRATES exchange.<br />
2. ECTS points and marks (grades) are separate entities.<br />
3. Each semester, courses amounting to a minimum total of 14 periods (14 x 45 min.) per<br />
week must be taken. (valid for SOCRATES exchange)<br />
4. Each semester, at least one Senior Seminar (HAUPTSEMINAR) must be taken.<br />
5. No ECTS points are given for mere attendance (i.e. passive presence); points can be given<br />
for lectures only if there is some form of test or examination (which the lecturer has to<br />
guarantee).<br />
ECTS Point System (for courses of 2 periods per week):<br />
Type of course<br />
Senior Seminar (Hauptseminar) with oral<br />
and written performance (term paper 15-25<br />
pages or equivalent):<br />

(maximum 2 courses per semester to be<br />
counted):<br />
ECTS Points (for courses of 2 periods/week)<br />
N.B.: For any other forms of class or assessment not mentioned: ECTS points should be<br />
allocated by analogy with this system.<br />
The category “Seminar” corresponds to either Hauptseminar or Proseminar, depending on the<br />
length and level of the term paper.<br />
