Requirements / organisational issues:
This will be a highly practical course in how to teach a foreign language using the Scaffolded Language Emergence approach developed at the FTSK over the past decade. The course will comprise two components:
1) a 25-hour elementary course in the Hindi language, which will take place from every morning from 9-13 October (during the week prior to the first week of classes in the WS). The idea behind this course is to provide potential SLE teachers with an SLE learning experience in preparation for designing and running their own SLE courses.
and
2) the creation and running of an introductory workshop in languages of the students' choice. Students will be expected to work in small teams of 2-3 to create and run these workshops. The exact meeting times for the preparation sessions and for the actual workshops will be determined in consultation with the class participants prior to the beginning of the semester.
The course instructor and another trained SLE teacher will be available to provide significant tutoring for each team of workshop developers and leaders.
Please note that this course is specifically open to ERASMUS students from any country! Preparatory theoretical work will be done in English and no knowledge of German will be required. Ideally, the workshops in the various languages will be designed and run by native speakers (or at least very competent (C1-level) speakers of those languages. Workshops can also be run in German or English if you wish.
The course is also specifically open to Cross Borders teachers who would like to try a naturalistic and pedagogically well-founded approach upon which to base their Cross Borders class sessions.
The actual workshops will be run late in the semester with the participation of interested FTSK students.
The objective of the course is to enable untrained language teachers to initiate, create, develop and run elementary courses in their native language or any foreign language they master by the end of the semester.
Please note that there is a required textbook for this course:
Kiraly, D. & Signer, S. (2017). Scaffolded Language Emergence in the Classroom: From Theory to Practice. Frank & Timme.
The book is readily available on Amazon at a modest price.
