AKTUELLES
Achtung: Redaktionsschluss für das kommentierte Vorlesungsverzeichnis
war im Jänner. Allfällig notwendige Korrekturen und nach diesem Termin
eingetretene Änderungen werden so rasch wie möglich durch Anschläge
bekanntgemacht.
EINTEILUNG DES WINTERSEMESTERS:
Semesterbeginn: 1. März 2005
Zulassungsfrist: 17. Jänner – 29. März 2005
Nachfrist: 30. März – 30. April 2005
Rektorstag: 11. März 2005
Osterferien: 21. März – 1. April 2005
Pfingstferien: 14. – 17. Mai 2005
Sommerferien: 1. Juli – 30. September 2005
FEHLSTUNDENREGELUNG
In Lehrveranstaltungen mit 3 und solchen mit 2 Semester-Wochenstunden ist es erlaubt, 3
Einheiten zu fehlen, in LVA mit 1 Semester-Wochenstunde 2 Einheiten. In besonders
begründeten Ausnahmefällen liegt es im Ermessen der Lehrveranstaltungsleiter, 1 weitere
Fehleinheit zu gewähren.
STUDIENPROGRAMMLEITUNG
Mit dem Wintersemester 2004/05 nahm die Studienprogrammleitung für Anglistik und
Amerikanistik ihre Tätigkeit auf. Studienrechtliche und studienorganisatorische
Aufgaben, die davor von den gewählten Studienkommissionsvorsitzenden und den
Studiendekanen wahrgenommen wurden, fallen nun in die Zuständigkeit des vom Rektor
ernannten Studienprogrammleiters (SPL) Ao. Prof. Dr. Rudolf Weiss und der Vize-
Studienprogrammleiterin Mag. Barbara Olsson. Insbesondere können Sie sich in
folgenden Fragen an die Studienprogrammleitung wenden (egal, ob Sie ein Diplom- oder
Lehramtsstudium betreiben):
• Doktoratsstudium (ao. Prof. Dr.Weiss)
• Nostrifikationen (ao. Prof. Dr. Weiss)
• Fragen betr. Studienplanwechsel (Mag. Olsson)
• Anrechnung von Vor- und Auslandsstudien mittels Bescheid (Mag. Olsson)
• Freie Wahlfächer (Mag. Olsson)
Die Studienprogrammleitung ist aber auch für die Planung des Lehrangebots, die
Organisation des Studienbetriebs und qualitätssichernde Maßnahmen zuständig. Die
Studienkonferenz, die je zur Hälfte aus Lehrenden und Studierenden zusammengesetzt
ist, hat in diesen Bereichen beratende Funktion.

6
ÜBERGANGSFRIST NEU
Die Bestimmung, wonach der Abschluss des ersten Studienabschnitts nach dem alten
Studienplan nur bis 30. April 2005 möglich ist, wurde vom Senat der Universität Wien ersatzlos
aufgehoben.
Die Übergangsfrist für das Diplomstudium und das Lehramtsstudium Anglistik und
Amerikanistik endet jedenfalls mit 30. November 2008.
FREIE WAHLFÄCHER (Diplomstudium)
Die freien Wahlfächer sind vor Beginn des 3. Studiensemesters auf den vorgesehenen
Formularen bekanntzugeben bzw. zu beantragen (Studierende, die vor dem WS 04 mit dem
Diplomstudium nach neuem Studienplan begonnen haben, müssen das Formular bis spätestens
30.November 05 abgeben). Formulare sind im Vorraum des Zentralsekretariats (Pinnwand vor
dem Lektorenzimmer) zu entnehmen. Bitte befolgen Sie die Anleitung zum Ausfüllen des
Formulars!!
Die (wachsende) Liste aller Studienrichtungen, die freie Wahlfach-Module im Umfang von 24,
36 oder 48 SSt anbieten, finden Sie nebst ausführlichen Informationen unter dem link
spl.univie.ac.at/wahlfaecher
wo Sie auch Formulare herunterladen können.
DIPLOMPRÜFUNGEN
Sämtliche Informationen zur Diplomprüfung, sowie zur Fachprüfung im Lehramtsstudium
entnehmen Sie bitte dem Wegweiser zum Anglistikstudium (erhältlich im Zentralsekretariat).

Die StRV stellt sich vor...
Wir, die Studienrichtungsvertretung, vertreten - wie der Name schon sagt - die Interessen der
StudentInnen an unserem Institut. Seit den ÖH-Wahlen im Mai 2003 ist das momentane Team
gewählter VertreterInnen im Amt.
Zusammen mit anderen engagierten StudentInnen nutzen wir so viele Gelegenheiten wie irgend
möglich um Wünsche der StudentInnen an unserem Institut einzubringen. So stellen wir die
Hälfte der Mitglieder in der Studienkonferenz, um die Interessen der StudentInnen so gut wie
möglich in den Institutsalltag zu integrieren.
Weiters sind wir in unseren Journaldiensten für alle da, die Hilfe und Rat brauchen oder einfach
nur nett plaudern wollen. Im Rahmen der Inskriptionsberatung, des Erstsemestrigentutoriums,
der Wartung des Kopierers, Filmvorführungen und der Organisation von Festln tun wir was wir
können!
Wir wünschen euch einen guten Start ins neue Semester und viel Spaß auf der Anglistik &
Amerikanistik.
Zu finden sind wir im Kammerl im 1. Stock rechts.

1. STUDIENABSCHNITT
PART I (COURSES FOR 1 st DIPLOMA EXAMINATION)
SPRACHKOMPETENZ/LANGUAGE SKILLS
Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen, p.11 (16) .
The language courses are based on the assumption that you have already done English up to
Austrian ‘Matura’ level or the equivalent. In other words, you are already more or less
‘Independent Users’ of English (cf Common European Framework of Reference for Languages,
B2). By the end of Part I you should be approaching a level that has been described as ‘Effective
Operational Proficiency’. This means that you should have relatively little difficulty in using the
English language for most personal, public or educational purposes. You will be able to use the
language both receptively and productively, in speech and in writing, with due regard for
relevant features of context, situation and addressor / addressee. In addition, you will have a
good grasp of the nature and structure of the language and its systems. Finally you should have
attained a level of learner autonomy which will enable you to continue to develop your language
and communication skills independently in the future.

You are strongly recommended to take the Language Analysis lecture course (101) and the
practical class (102) in conjunction with each other. Courses 111 through 114 form a coherent
whole and must be taken in sequence. Language Analysis (VO and VK) and Integrated Study
Skills 1 count as part of the Studieneingangsphase.
The Language Analysis Component
101 VO, 102 VK
This component of your studies comprises the lecture course as well as the accompanying
practical class (VK). You are strongly recommended to take the lecture course and the practical
classes in conjunction with each other (in the 1 st semester), as the two are closely linked: the
lecture provides the necessary input, which is further discussed and practised in the smaller
practical classes.
Your aims for the lecture and the practical class will be as follows:
You will be able to
- identify and name the individual parts of syntactic structures (using standard terminology)
- talk informedly about key grammatical categories and explain their use in a given context
- recognise and rectify common errors
- make independent and judicious use of reference books
As such the Language Analysis Component provides an important foundation for both language
classes (Integrated Language and Study Skills, Language in Use) and linguistics courses.

22
Materials:
There is a common handout for both lecture course and practical classes. Please pick it up from
CopyStudio, Schwarzspanierstr. 10, in the first week of the semester.
Assessment:
Lecture and practical classes will be assessed separately
- Lecture: final test
- Practical classes: regular attendance & class participation, two assignments, final test
Studierende, die ein positives Zeugnis über diese Lehrveranstaltung benötigen, um im
DARAUF FOLGENDEN Semester ein Proseminar, Sprachgeschichte oder Introduction to
Language Teaching I zu besuchen, MÜSSEN zum ersten Prüfungstermin (in der letzten
Sitzung des Semesters) antreten. Aus organisatorischen Gründen können Ergebnisse aus

3st, UE, p.A.
Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen, p.11+12 (16)
Orientation:
A standardised test will be administered to all students at the beginning of ILSS 1. Your score
will indicate whether you are proficient enough in English to cope with the language demands of
English and American Studies. This score will NOT form part of your official academic record.
ILSS Aims:
- to upgrade your language and study skills, thereby providing support in an English-medium
teaching environment
- to encourage you to develop independent study habits (with regard to grammar, usage and
vocabulary)
- to identify and address possible deficiencies in your language competence
Outcomes:
You should be equipped to meet the language demands of your courses in literature, linguistics
and cultural and regional studies. Should the occasion arise, you would probably be able to

follow higher education courses in the English-speaking world (in fields familiar to you) or work
in some English-medium contexts without undue strain.
Focus:
- study and research skills
- learning strategies
- language awareness
- vocabulary development
- reading and writing skills and sub-skills
- recognising and remedying errors in the use of the language system in writing and speaking
- introduction to formal / informal distinction, levels of formality and the concept of
appropriateness
Assessment:
This will include attendance, active participation, class work, homework assignments and
written tests on material covered. There is a Common Final Test (CFT) at the end of ILSS 2,
modelled on the requirements for the International English language Testing System (IELTS),
Academic Module.
Toolkit
You are strongly advised to invest in books which will assist your learning. Your teachers will
present various dictionaries and handbooks which, as students of English, you should possess
and make frequent use of. The recommended books are available for consultation in the Library.

between English and German
Outcomes:
You will be able to understand and produce a range of spoken and written text-types relevant to
the personal, educational and future occupational needs of Arts students and to comment on
significant features in such texts. You will also develop an awareness of sources of linguistic or
cultural misunderstanding and of the problems of transferring ‘meaning’ from one language to
another.
Focus:
- working with different kinds and genres of ‘text’
- oral discussion and reporting / presentation of findings
- oral and written comment and analysis
- oral and written personal / critical response
Assessment:

This lecture course forms the first part of a one-year introductory programme which will show
how human language works to project individual identity and express social meaning. We will
therefore begin by looking at how speech sounds are used to convey linguistic meaning and
individual identity. In order to achieve this we shall study the best ways of describing and
transcribing the sounds and sound systems of English and other languages.
We shall then consider how language varies to reflect different social and geographical factors
and how this variation may be described and represented in theoretical models.

Finally we shall examine how language functions in communication and how humans use
language to create meaning.

202/K212: Introduction to the Study of Language 2
2st, VO
Bryan Jenner, Angelika Rieder, Wed 10-12, Hs C1 (ab 9.3.)
This lecture forms the second part of a one-year introductory programme and will complement
the topics discussed in the course 'Introduction to the Study of Language 1'.
After giving an overview of the scope of linguistics, we will investigate the meaning of words
and sentences (semantics) and consider different approaches to grammar. We will also analyse
the internal architecture of words (morphology) and discuss how they combine to form phrases
and sentences (syntax).
Furthermore, the course will focus on how language is processed in the mind (psycholinguistics)
and on how it is acquired in a first and second language context.

Language varies geographically, socially and historically: this course focuses on the different
forms of English over time. It builds on concepts and terminology familiar from the introductory
lecture courses and applies them to a number of developments which have made English the
language it is today. Some of the questions raised will be: why is there so little correspondence
between English spelling and pronunciation Why are there hardly any inflectional endings in
Modern English and why is its vocabulary so full of words of foreign origin Answering these
questions necessitates reflection on how we can find out about past stages of a language with

28
only written material (or not even that) as a source. Texts from different periods in English
language history will be used for illustration. The discussion of all topics touches upon the
essential questions as to how and why languages change at all.
Marks will be assigned on the basis of homework, class participation and exam(s).

These classes focus on one area of linguistics, seeking to attain two basic goals:
a) to provide an overview of a specific area as well as a sound knowledge of both past
developments and the present "state of the art". Weekly readings (textbook as well as
supplementary material) are required.
b) to provide a more in-depth treatment of a particular aspect of the area by means of a research
paper, which should introduce the student to the basic skills of researching and writing such a
paper. In-class presentations or discussion forums on the paper topic give the students the
opportunity to argue their ideas.
Credit for the course is earned by satisfactorily meeting both of the above goals. Course
evaluation will be based on the research paper, oral presentations, contribution to class
discussion, a written exam, and weekly (written) assignments.

Julia Hüttner, Thu 12-14, Room 4 (ab 10.3.)
In this course we will explore the nature of the human word-store or 'mental lexicon'. We will be
looking at processes of word-formation, at approaches to word meaning, at the phonological and
syntactic information in the lexicon, and at formulaic language or pre-fabricated chunks.
Furthermore, we will discuss how people learn words (in a first and second language), and how
they understand and use them. Finally, we will also acquaint ourselves with the dictionary on the
shelf and try to relate it to the one in the head.
Participants' own research projects will be based on further and more in-depth reading on
selected topics. All participants will present aspects of their projects during a 'mini conference',
probably on 13 & 14 May, replacing 4 weekly sessions.

Phonetics and Phonology
Bryan Jenner A. Tue 12-14, Room 1 (ab 8.3.)
B. Wed 16-17:30, Room 2 (ab 9.3.)
This course will build on the basic introduction to phonetics provided in the first semester course
(201) and study applications of phonetics and phonology in the description of varieties of
English, including English as a lingua franca. Transcription skills will be further developed to
include suprasegmental aspects of pronunciation. The adequacy and relevance of a range of
theoretical concepts will also be considered. Students’ own research will focus on the description
of a particular variety or model of English pronunciation.

Sociolinguistics
Bryan Jenner, Mon 12:30-14, Room 1 (ab 7.3.)
Language form and language use vary considerably according to differences in society, users,
purposes and situations. This course offers an introduction to some of the possible ways of
describing such variation systematically. It will also examine some of the social and political
consequences of linguistic variation and offer students the chance to select a particular
sociolinguistic topic for investigation in greater depth.
Textbook: Trudgill, Peter. 2000 Sociolinguistics: an introduction to language and society.
Penguin
Discourse
Gunther Kaltenböck, Wed 10-12, Besprechungszimmer 2.Stock (ab 13.10.)
Discourse analysis is the study of spoken and written language in its textual, social and
psychological context. It examines how we put our knowledge of language into action to achieve
successful communication, and thus provides important insights into the processes and problems
of language use and language learning. In this course, we will be looking at the main theoretical
approaches to discourse analysis and apply these to language data. We will also consider the
practical relevance of discourse analysis to language learning and teaching and evaluate extracts
from teaching materials designed to improve learners’ discourse skills.
Class discussion will be based on selected readings on these issues, and participants' own
projects will be based on further, more in-depth reading and the analysis of data they choose
themselves.
All participants will present aspects of their projects during a 'mini conference' (replacing
4 weekly sessions) to be held on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 May (late afternoon).

Courses:
Introduction to the Study of Literatures in English
Dieter Fuchs, Wed 15-17, Hs C2 (ab 9.3.)
This lecture course will introduce students to the following topics:
• literary theories, approaches, technical terms and their practical application
• major genres and modes of literature
• periods of English literatures
• techniques and conventions of scholarly research
We will be discussing critical and literary texts from various periods and genres. A reader will be
available at the beginning of the semester. The written final examination will be based on the
reading material and the topics discussed in class.
Introduction to the Study of Literatures in English
Ursula Kluwick, Thu 10-12, Hs C1 (ab 10.3.)
This course aims to introduce students to ways of thinking and talking critically about literature.
We will consider basic questions such as:
- How can we analyse literature (basic concepts and terminology)
- How do we distinguish between different forms of literature (genre characteristics)
- How do various readers’ readings differ from one another (reading positions and practices)
- How are these differences expressed in different critical approaches to literature (modern
literary theories)
Students will be expected to read a novel and a play (to be announced in the first lecture), and
various poems, short stories and critical texts that will be included in a reader available at the
beginning of term.
There will be a written examination at the end of term, covering the issues discussed and the
required reading.

This lecture course offers an introduction to the older period of English literature - a phase
which extends from the Middle Ages up to and including the eighteenth century. Individual
courses will differ in structure and content but will all contain a section on William
Shakespeare’s works. The focus will necessarily be placed on trends, epochs and generic
development; prototypical texts will be used as illustrative material. In addition to retracing the
evolution of English literature, this lecture course offers a first introduction to some of the more
important developments in English cultural history. Students will thus be provided with a
contextualising framework which will enable them to read texts as complex responses to their
respective cultural, social, historical, political, scientific, philosophical and economic
environment. Students are advised to take this lecture course after having successfully completed
the introductory course on the study of literatures in English.
Courses:
From Chaucer to 1700
Ewald Mengel, Thu 16.30-18, Hs C2 (ab 10.3.)
This survey will outline the history of English literature from the Middle Ages to the end of the
17 th Century. Beginning with Chaucer and his Canterbury Tales, its emphasis will be on the
history of drama before Shakespeare and on Shakespeare himself, on prose and verse romance
and epic, on the Metaphysical Poets, and on Restoration drama. Students are expected to prepare
for this survey by an intensive reading of the major works dealt with, and by reading selected
chapters from a literary history of their choice, for example, Michael Alexander, A History of
English Literature (Macmillan Pb); Andrew Sanders, The Short Oxford History of English
Literature (Oxford UP); Ulrich Seeber (ed.) Englische Literaturgeschichte (Metzler) Many of the
texts discussed may be found in the Norton or the Arnold Anthology of British Literature.
A reader with key passages from the main primary sources and additional background
information will be available at the beginning of the semester.
A Short Illustrated Survey of English Literature from the Tudors to the Restoration
(1485-1660)
Franz-Karl Wöhrer, Tue 12-14, Hs C2 (ab 8.3.)
This introductory lecture course on the history of English literature will offer a concise survey of
the major dramatists, poets and prose writers of the period starting from the Tudor Age (1485)
and ending after the Restoration of the Stuart monarchy in the 1660ies. The literature of that
period will be placed in the historical and cultural contexts. The major focus, however, will be on
the development of English drama, which will be traced from the late Middle Ages to the
Restoration. The poetry of the period can only be discussed selectively within the limitations

imposed by a lecture course of 12 units. A few prose writers will be referred to in passing (Lyly,
Overbury, Nashe, Bacon, More). Methodologically the course will rely on multi-media support
throughout (including Power-Point presentations, illustrations on overhead and short sequences
from plays and films presented on video). – The course will be accompanied by a tutorial offered
by a student tutor (for details see notice board).
Requirements: Regular attendance is strongly recommended; thorough knowledge of the texts
on the reading list (see notice board) and a detailed knowledge of the subject matter presented in
class are vital requirements for the final exam. In addition, familiarity with chapters 3 and 4 of
The Short Oxford History of English Literature by Andrew Sanders, 3 rd ed., Oxford: UOP, 2004,
will be a particular asset at the final exam (self-study).

Course:
English Literature from the 18 th to the 21 st Century
Margarete Rubik, Tue 11-13, Hs C1 (ab 8.3.)
A lecture attempting to survey English literature from the 18 th century to the present can, of
necessity, only focus on general trends, major characteristics and the most important writers of
the various periods. By means of a variety of full-length texts and excerpts we will investigate
how drama, narrative fiction and poetry responded to the radical changes in political and social
history, science and philosophy that have profoundly remodelled our world view from the age of
Enlightenment to the postmodern era. The texts on the reading list will be made accessible in a
reader or from the campus bookshops. Most of them will be taken from the Norton or Oxford
anthologies.In addition, the use of a literary history to read up on and supplement the material
discussed in the lecture is recommended .e.g., Andrew Sanders, The Short Oxford History of
English Literature (Oxford UP) or Ulrich Seeber (ed.), Englische Literaturgeschichte (Metzler).

Preconditions (new curriculum): Pass grades in Language Analysis 101 and 102 plus
301/K223 and either 302/K221 or 303/K222. Students who have pass grades in both literature
survey courses will be given preference in case not enough places are available. UmsteigerInnen
with pass grades in Englische Sprachübungen I-IV do not require pass grades in 101 and 102.
Preconditions (old curriculum): Pass grades in K221/302, K222/303, K223/301 necessary.
2st, PS, p.A.
Registration: see chapter Anmeldungen, p. 14 (16)
These classes deepen and extend the subject matter of the introductory lectures. They are
intended to help students develop a well founded yet independent critical approach to literary
texts. Participants are given a thorough grounding in various skills and techniques required for
the writing of academic papers: the use of works of reference; the use and evaluation of
secondary literature; more about the theory and practice of critical analysis; the correct use of
literary terminology. A selection of literary texts forms the basis for this work. On completing the
class, students should be in a position to take an active part in the literary seminar.
Evaluation is on the basis of classwork, a longer academic essay written in English (10 pages),
and a written final test.
Courses:
Native American Fiction
Michael Draxlbauer, Mon 12-14, Room 3 (ab 7.3.)
In this class we will read and analyze five classic Native American novels:
James Welch (Blackfoot/Gros Ventre), Winter in the Blood (1974)
N. Scott Momaday (Kiowa), House Made of Dawn (1968)
Louise Erdrich (Chippewa), Love Medicine (1984) and Tracks (1988)
Leslie Marmon Silko (Laguna Pueblo, Mexican), Ceremony (1977)
All texts deal with the traumatization of the "Indian" characters after centuries of colonization
and dispossession, and how only a return to ancient tribal rituals and ceremonies can start the
necessary process of healing that leads to a new sense of heritage, identity and self-respect.
In addition to literary criticism this class will also emphasize Cultural Studies issues; students
will be expected to conduct research on the tribes/nations we are dealing with as wel as on
aspects of Native history, mythology and culture.
Modernist Literatures in English: Poland, Ireland, New Zealand, England, America
Dieter Fuchs, Thu 15-17, Room 3 (ab 10.3.)
In the first half of the 20 th century the world of literature changes: it becomes global, regional,
metropolist and expatriate at the same time. As modernist art is highly experimental, participants
of this introductory seminar are expected to be willing to deal with texts that are ‘writerly’ rather
than ‘readerly’. They are required to read short papers, contribute to class discussion, pass a final
test and hand in a term paper. Texts to be prepared: Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness, James
Joyce, The Sisters, Katherine Mansfield, The Garden Party, Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse,
Ernest Hemingway, Che Ti Dice la Patria and Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Babylon Revisited. A
selection of poetical texts will be available at the beginning of the semester.

35
New Writing, New Reading
Elke Mettinger-Schartmann, Tue 10-12, Room 4 (ab 8.3.)
In this course we will be concerned with fiction by American and Irish writers who went to Paris
in the first decades of the 20 th century – either as exiles or as long-term visitors to the French
capital. While the emphasis is on the close reading of our texts we will also have a look at their
historical, social or cultural dimensions and at the contribution of American and Irish writing to
modernism. In this context the role of Paris as the centre of modernist production and artistic
experiment, as a geographical place turning into a ‘state of mind’ will have to be examined.
Apart from some short extracts on modernism and drama criticism such as G.B. Shaw’s “The
Quintessence of Ibsenism” discussed in class our focus of interest will be on:
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby; J. M. Synge, The Playboy of the Western World and
poetry by William Butler Yeats, Hilda Doolittle and Ezra Pound.
Fin-de-siècle Literature
Ludwig Schnauder, Fri 9-11, Unterrichtsraum (ab 18.3.)
Course description: see notice board
Charisma, Ambition, Deception
Rudolf Weiss, Tue 12-14, Room 3 (ab 8.3.)
In this course we will analyse two texts which, at a first glance, appear to be worlds apart, Peter
Shaffer's highly successful costume drama Amadeus (1979) and Muriel Spark's early novel The
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1961). Shaffer's play, which was also turned into a major film by
Milos Forman, presents the intrigues and strategies of the ambitious Court Composer Antonio
Salieri to rid himself of his rival Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, focussing on the question of
mediocrity and genius. Spark's text, set in 1930s Edinburgh, features a charismatic teacher
indulging in questionable didactic methods and problematic political views who is finally
deceived, and ruined, by one of her pupils. Presentations and papers will deal with dramatic
codes and techniques, narrative strategies, character construction and thematic issues.

This survey course of the histories and cultures of the United States will start with a brief outline
from colonial times to the present day. During the term, however, rather than working along
chronological lines, cultural studies approaches to history, society, identity, nation and ideology
shall be used. Topics will include immigration, ethnic America, Native Americans, religion in
the US, (popular) founding myths and their persistence, hegemonic narratives and icons, visual(-
izing) America, New Hollywood, popular music, counter cultures. We will examine a number of
selected documents both written and audio-(visual) from historical key moments which
contributed to shaping American imagination(s).

Performing National Identity: Irishness
Gastprof. Eckart Voigts-Virchow, Mon 14-16, Hs C2
This lecture course will look at the particular problems of Irish national identity, Irish national
stereotypes, Irish heritage and Irish cultural memory. Starting from recent approaches to national
identity (B. Anderson, A. Easthope), it will be based on a survey of Irish history and politics
(Celtic roots, Christianity, invasions by Normans and Cromwell, plantation, Battle of the Boyne,
Great Famine, Easter rising, Free State). We will then focus at the issue of nation and culture,
looking at a great variety of texts. These will range from popular songs, sitcoms and cartoons to
films, plays, narratives and poetry (from Yeats to 'Father Ted'). There will be particular emphasis
on formative periods, events and catchphrases ('Irish renaissance', Celtic tiger, 'the troubles' since
1968, Bloody Sunday)

Eve’s Meta-morphosis. Phantasmal Re-Imaginings of Female Fall and Male Recreation
in Literary and Visual Representation from the 17 th to the late 20 th cent.
and Its Cultural Implications
Melanie Feratova-Loidolt, Fri 12-14, Room 5 (ab 18.3., Vorbesprechung 4.3.)
Registration see p. 15 (16)
“Eve’s meta-morphosis” explores transformations of the biblical Eve-figure in literary
representation and, on another level, investigates intersections with changing historical,
patriarchal meta-discourses on woman’s corporeal and spiritual morphology. We will analyse
whether the texts reflect or react against prevailing gender-power discourses and, in specific,
look at female-authored texts, where Eve’s “daughters” are imagined as desperately yearning for
fall, monstrously rebelling against exclusion, weirdly transforming from man into woman. These
dystopian (re-)visions of a “paradise lost” interrogate whether patriarchal myths of Eve’s fall
generate illusions of male re-, self-, mono-creation.
Such an approach requires a thorough engagement with the psychoanalytical and philosophical
arguments of French feminist post-structuralist theory (Irigaray, Kristeva, Cixous). The keyfocus
is directed on man’s cultural appropriation of woman’s pro-creative potential and her

eduction to re-production and the generation of a system where man is lifted to
transcendent/god-like status while woman is denied autonomy and participation. The texts
envision as the outcome doubled & distorted bodies, psyches, genealogies and a destruction of a
heterosexual ethics.
A variety of myths and images will be introduced to help students to find access to the complex
theoretical argumentation. (Pandora, Pallas-Athena, Alcestis, Echo& Narcissus, Orpheus &
Eurydice, Ariadne & Theseus)
The following texts will be discussed and analysed:
John Milton. Paradise Lost. (1667) (Excerpts); Mary Shelley. Frankenstein. (1818); Djuna
Barnes. Nightwood (1936); Emily Bronte. Wuthering Heights. (1848); Angela Carter. The
Passion of New Eve. (1977)
Tracing the topic in the 1990’s we will also analyse two very different films: David Fincher’s
“Fight Club” and Elisabeth Bronfen’s critique; Stephen Spielberg’s “A.I.” which we will crossread
with Irigaray’s essay “Une Mère de Glace”.
A reader with excerpts of feminist theoretical texts & myths dealt with will be provided.

Requirements: regular attendance & portfolio-notes, participation in critical discussions, oral
presentation of a chosen topic (10 mins), final written exam.

Gender Equality: Problems and Perspectives
Ayesha Landesmann-Aibara, Thu 17-19, Unterrichtsraum (ab 10.3.)
Registration see p. 15 (16)
The aim of the course is to look at the ways in which the issue of gender relations is implicated
in the often varying and sometimes conflicting views held by the ‘West’ and the ‘non-West’ on
questions of culture, religion, tradition, progress, modernisation and “westernization”.
The course takes the case of India as a starting point to discuss specific issues related to two
main themes: the idea of measuring social progress in terms of the status of women and the
attempts to achieve gender equality within a pluralistic democratic society. In particular, we will
look at the problems inherent in reconciling the conflicting claims of the religious and the
secular, poverty and economic development, as well as the debate over positive discrimination.
Approaching ESP Texts
2st, KO
Julia Hüttner, Thu 15-17, Room 5 (ab 10.3.)
Registration see p. 15 (16)
In this interactive course, we will focus on ESP texts of different kinds within an applied
linguistic framework. By keeping the overall aim of ESP teaching in mind, we will describe and
analyse the features and structures of a selection of text types, or genres. Apart from a reflective
introduction to discourse and genre analysis, this will also entail learning to use language
corpora, i.e. computerised collections of texts, and the associated concordancing software. This
course aims to show students how to access and work with text sources as an aid in using and
developing teaching materials.
This course falls into three parts: introduction to the applied linguistic framework;
practical experience in analysing ESP genres; and student projects on specific language aspects
of an ESP genre and how they could be taught.

40
This is Course 2 of the module on Teaching English for Specific Purposes, and should be
attended after Course 1 ("World of Work"). It can, of course, also be attended by students not
enrolled in the module on Teaching ESP.
Media Studies: An Introduction
Gastprof. Voigts-Virchow, Tue 13-15, Room 5 (ab 8.3.)
Registration see p. 15 (16)
This course must start from stating the obvious: We live in a thoroughly 'mediatized' world, a
social and cultural environment which is permeated by the media, and, more specifically,
electronic media. We regularly communicate beyond the conditions of bodily presence. One
might say that the media organise absence, expanding and manipulating the continuum of space
and time. The truism reads that the social processes of everyday life are inevitably and
unwittingly determined by our media usage and our media habits. These habits are continually
changed by new media technologies, for instance the increasing substitution or redefinition of
offline media through online media. Taking a cue from definitions and concepts of "the media",
we will address various fields, such as media communication, media codes/signs, media cultures,
media history, orality vs. literacy, media memory, constructions of media realities, intermediality
and cybercultures.

complete the language competence component. One of these courses must involve translation
(121), another must focus on advanced writing (122, 123) and the third class is to be chosen from
the remaining codes. In accordance with regulations for the old curriculum, language courses of
the second part of studies need not be taken in a particular sequence. Depending on availability it
will be possible to attend two classes (with different codes!) in one term. Registration for the
second class is only possible in the Nachmeldefrist (March 7-11) in the central office.
Please note: If you have already completed Englische Sprachübungen V and VI, registration for
a topic related course (Freifach K 801) is only possible in the Nachmeldefrist. Students who
have not yet completed the language programme are given preference.
Students on the new curriculum:
If you have already passed the first diploma examination, you can choose from all code numbers.
In this case - and depending on availability - it is also possible to register for a second course
(with a different code) in the Nachmeldefrist (7-11 March central office). If, however, you have
not yet completed the first part of studies, registration is only possible for 121, this being the
only language competence course that can be brought forward, regardless of whether you are a
Diplom- or a Lehramts-candidate.
Lehramtsstudierende should keep in mind that for them 121, 122 (in this sequence!) plus one
topic related course are obligatory. (It is, of course, possible to complete additional topic related
courses under the heading of “Freie Wahlfächer”).

The courses "World of Work 1" and "World of Work 2" (124) have been designed as part of the
new ESP module (see p. 47) and are thus especially recommended to students (on both the old
and the new curriculum) who intend to complete all parts of the ESP module. Contact Mag. B.
Mehlmauer-Larcher if you are interested.
121, 122: Advanced Integrated Language Skills 1 & 2
The overall concern of these courses is to enhance linguistic awareness and sensitivity.
The aim of 121 AILS 1 is to use the analysis and production of texts in English and German to
enable participants to gain insights into the way specific languages work, on the basis of
comparing and contrasting different types of texts in these two languages. The approach used
will be wide-ranging, from examining details of linguistic usage to considering the cultural
background and the ‘clash of cultures’. This will involve both translation criticism and practical
translation between English and German. Having successfully completed the course, students
should find that they are better equipped to function as ‘transcultural mediators’.
Assessment will be based on homework, classwork and tests.
The aim of 122 AILS 2 is to help students generate original texts of various kinds, with special
emphasis on essays of a general as well as an academic nature. The overall concern at this level
is to develop sensitivity to stylistic differences and to help students handle the wide range of
lexical and syntactic options available in English.

Topic Related Courses (TRCs)
2st, UE, p.A.
Registration see chapter Anmeldungen, p. 12 (16)
At this stage in your studies you may wish to specialise, which is why the Topic Related Courses
round off your language programme. They are intended to follow on from the more general
topics dealt with in the two AILS courses, giving you an opportunity to take an in-depth look at
a topic which interests you or is relevant to your present or future needs. The courses generally
require the production of some form of long text, for example in connection with work on a
project. The topics dealt with may include: English for Specific Purposes, Creative Writing,
Academic Writing Skills, Advanced Oral Skills, Literary and Practical Translation, The
Language of Newspapers and Magazines. The following courses will be available in the current
semester:

Courses:
123: Advanced Writing Skills: Tell It Right – Storying from Fact to Fiction
Patricia Häusler-Greenfield, Fri 10-12, Room 4 (ab 18.3.)
So, is this a creative writing course No. Not really. Mainly not. The borders between factual and
fictional writing are tangled and impenetrable, a wilderness in which apprentice writers can
easily lose their way, given the multitude of tasks they must – or may want to - fulfil. As they
fight their way through the word-thickets, they can fall back on the strategies of seasoned
cultivators of words: cutting back wild growth; contemplating, shaping and arranging; adding a
bright splash of colour. How to do this with text is what we shall explore together.
You want to show your life history and your future plans in the best possible light Come along!
(CV, motivation statement). You want to do justice to your ‘big idea’ Come along! (report,
project / research proposal, academic paper / essay) You want to fashion fascinating texts from
your flashes of insight into Man - sorry, Humankind - and the Universe Come along! (essay,
vignette, short story, poem …). And you are really curious about The Preposition Project Well,
just come along.
Participants will be required to complete all assigned tasks, document their progress and take an
active part in The Preposition Project. Assessment will be on the basis of classwork, homework
and project participation.
124: Practical Translation for Tourism
Leigh Bailey, Wed 10-12, Room 1 (ab 9.3.)
The growing importance of international tourism and the role of English as a lingua franca have
led to a vast amount of material such as information brochures for towns and regions and
publicity leaflets for hotels and conference centres being translated into English. The quality of
these translations is often poor, and the aim of the course will be to examine some examples of
such material and to develop strategies for a more successful approach to this type of translation.
Authentic material in German and English will be used in a range of classwork and homework
exercises, these also providing the basis for assessment. Successful completion of the course will
mean that participants will be aware of the pitfalls facing anyone producing such translated
material and hence that they should also be able to produce competent results if they are asked to
undertake such tasks themselves.
124: World of Work 1 (ESP)
Liselotte Pope-Hofmann, Mon 13-15, Room 5 (ab 7.3.)
This course is an elective for students on the new curriculum but may be taken as an optional
class (K 801) by students on the old curriculum, depending on availability. It has been designed

46
as part of the ESP module and thus is based on the assumption that participants will complete all
parts of the ESP module.
It offers students an introduction to text types relevant in a wide range of professional contexts,
e.g. business, tourism, marketing, technology, fashion, design, food science and horticulture.
The overall aim of the course is to develop students' expertise and to increase their selfconfidence
in dealing with specialist texts. The skills acquired in the course are of particular
relevance for future teachers at "BHS" schools as well as for students who intend to use English
in a professional context other than teaching.
Semester grades will be based on continuous assessment and a written exam.
125: Advanced Oral Presentation Skills
Harriet Anderson, Wed 9-11, Room 2 (ab 9.3.)
Aims: The ability to speak with ease and impact is central to both academic and professional
life. This course aims to help you to do just that.
Content: We will deal with oral presentation skills in all their variety:
• vocal elements eg. releasing your voice, expressiveness, pacing, pitch and volume
• physical elements eg. centering techniques, gesture, use of space and poise
• verbal elements eg. useful phrases, strategies to increase impact, giving and receiving
feedback, structuring content
• audience elements eg. understanding your audience, building rapport with individuals and
groups, adapting to situation
The focus will be on learning by doing and developing personal presence. You will have the
opportunity to practise a wide range of speaking activities.
Assessment: Class participation; a written analysis of your formal oral presentation given in
class; a scrapbook to be handed in at the end of the semester.

Precondition: Pass grade in Language in Use 2 (114/or Englische Sprachübungen IV K 104).
John Heath, Mon 10-12, Room 1 (ab 7.3.)
This class aims to develop accuracy and range of expression in written English as well as fluency
and confidence combined with accuracy in speaking. Students can expect to handle a broad
range of subjects and a variety of English text types. Great emphasis is placed on active student
participation in class.

SPRACHWISSENSCHAFT/LINGUISTICS
221/K518, K531: Core Lecture Linguistics
This lecture course is intended as a follow-up to the Introduction to Linguistics of the first part of
studies and will introduce students to different theoretical and descriptive approaches (including
their historical background where appropriate) in order to prepare them for the more
specialised work in advanced Seminars and other courses.
Students are expected to do extensive reading on their own based on an obligatory reading list
provided during the term, and will be examined both on the lecture itself and the reading list.
Lehramtsstudenten who have already opted for the „Neue Studienplan“ can either take the exam
at the end of this course as a credit or be examined on the topics of this lecture in a final exam
(„Fachprüfung“).
2st, VO
Core Lecture
Herbert Schendl, Barbara Seidlhofer, Tue 14-16, Hs C2 (ab 8.3.)
This lecture course offers a critical discussion of selected aspects of linguistic theory and its
applications, especially from the point of view of their relevance for teacher education. The areas
treated will include approaches to grammar, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and
topics from applied linguistics.

2st, SE, p.A.
222, 821/K511, K512: Linguistics Seminar
Nikolaus Ritt, Mon 12-14, Room 2
The history of English sounds
This seminar is about historical English phonology. We shall look at sounds and sound patterns
and try to find out as much as possible about their historical ancestors. We shall also raise the
question whether sounds and sound patterns can be given historical explanations.
NB: Participants’ oral presentations will all take place during a Seminar Conference on a Friday
afternoon and all day Saturday (most probably on 20 and 21 May), concurrently with Prof.
Seidlhofer's seminar. Full participation in this seminar conference is essential, so please bear this
in mind when registering for the seminar.
Aspects of Middle English
Herbert Schendl, Thu 10-12, Room 1 (ab 10.3.)

Middle English is a cover term for a number of regional varieties of the English language used
for about four centuries after the Norman Conquest, a time when no generally accepted Standard
variety of English existed. This seminar will on the one hand provide a short introduction into
the main features of Middle English, including a reading of various literary and non-literary
texts. On the other hand, the written seminar papers will investigate in more detail selected
linguistic aspects of different varieties of Middle English.
49
'Euro-English' – Myth or Reality
Barbara Seidlhofer, Wed 12-14, Room 5 (ab 9.3.)
'Euro-English' is a term that is often used rather loosely, referring to either the English jargon
employed in EU institutions, or to the ways Europeans of different first languages use English to
talk to each other. In this seminar, we will focus on the latter, investigating the increasing role
and actual use of English in the expanding European Union. After briefly taking stock of the
spread of English into most domains of both the public sphere and people's private lives, we shall
focus on the description of specific speech events in selected settings and conduct some
empirical research into the forms and functions of 'Euro-English' to see whether we can identify
any salient features of this use of English.
Participants will be invited to choose a setting they are interested in and to gather their own data
for description and discussion. A short reading list and an overview of possible themes will be
made available to facilitate preparation for the first few sessions in the summer term.
NB: Participants’ oral presentations will all take place during a Seminar Conference on a Friday
afternoon and all day Saturday (most probably on 20 and 21 May), concurrently with Prof. Ritt’s
seminar. Full participation in this seminar conference is essential, so please bear this in mind
when registering for the seminar.
Pragmatic Development in a Second Language
Gastprof. Gabriele Kasper, LEIDER KURZFRISTIG ABGESAGT!
This course examines theories, research methods, and substantive findings on second language
learners’ pragmatic development. Themes to be explored will include the relationship of
pragmatic and grammatical development, the role of different learning environments (such as
study abroad), options and effects of instruction, individual differences, and the interrelation of
social context, identity, and L2 pragmatic learning.
Required text: Kasper, G., & Rose, K. R. (2002). Pragmatic development in a second language. Oxford:
Blackwell.
Language Socialization as an Approach to Second Language Acquisition
Gastprof. Gabriele Kasper, LEIDER KURZFRISTIG ABGESAGT!
As one of many imports from other social sciences to second language acquisition (SLA),
Language Socialization has recently been touted as a ‘new paradigm’ for SLA. Whether or not
this categorization is warranted or hyperbolic is a matter of debate, but there can be little

50
question that by integrating contextual, linguistic, and cultural aspects of L2 learning in a
dynamic, interactional perspective, language socialization offers an insightful view on L2
learning processes and outcomes. The course will scrutinize theoretical proposals and data-based
studies examining language socialization in a range of contexts, target languages, and
populations, with particular attention to the theoretical frameworks and methodological
approaches.

223/224: Linguistics course (interactive)
Accents and attitudes
In this course we will look at a mixed sample of accents of English, both natively acquired ones
and others. We will explore our own attitudes towards them, and investigate how one might find
out about probable attitudes of others. Finally, we will discuss what our insights might imply for
our own ways of pronouncing English.
225: Linguistics course (interactive)

Computers, Language, and Learning
(anrechenbar für applied linguistics-Modul 226/228 und als K518/K531/32)
Barbara Seidlhofer, Wed 15-17, Room 5 (ab 9.3.)
Registration see p. 15 (16)
Over the last two decades or so, the description of languages, particularly of English, has
changed dramatically due to the availability of electronic resources for data storage and retrieval:
descriptions all tend to be corpus-based now. This has made it possible to say with
unprecedented accuracy how people 'really' speak and write. What is not so clear, however, is
how computer tools and corpora can and should be used for language learning. This course will
focus on the critical investigation of these questions and will also provide some hands-on

experience of computational resources and techniques that language experts and teachers should
be familiar with. The core of the course will be participants' own small-scale projects.
51
Pragmatics in Language Teaching
(anrechenbar für das applied linguistics-Modul 226/228 und als K 518/K 531/32)
Gastprof. Gabriele Kasper, LEIDER KURZFRISTIG ABGESAGT!
Registration see p.
The course will examine different approaches to instruction in second/foreign language
pragmatics, discourse, and sociolinguistics. It will cover observational studies on the
opportunities for acquiring pragmatics in authentic classroom settings and interventional studies
designed to examine the effectiveness of different teaching approaches. Particular focus will be
given to the theoretical foundations and research methods adopted in the studies. In the final part
of the seminar, options for testing pragmatic ability will be discussed.

226/236: Linguistik-Modul: Special linguistics course
A 'module' consists of two courses of 2 semester hours (2st) each, which are topically related
and thus form a thematic unity. (Please note: a module can only contain one lecture course.) At
the moment, three such modules are offered in English linguistics:
1. Historical linguistics
2. Applied linguistics
3. Descriptive linguistics
These courses have the numbers 226/228 and 236/238. Usually at least one course in historical
linguistics and applied linguistics is offered every semester, so that students can finish a module
within two to three semesters. Modules from other areas of linguistics (e.g. descriptive
linguistics) are also offered, but less regularly, so that it may take longer to complete such a
module.
Courses:
Historical English Morphology
(anrechenbar als K 517, K531/32)
2st, VO
Dieter Kastovsky, Tue 11-13, Unterrichtsraum (ab 8.3.)
This lecture will deal with the development of primarily inflectional morphology since the Old
English period. It will start with a brief description of Modern English, which will also be used
as a general introduction into the description of morphological systems (notions such as

52
allomorphy, morphonological alternations, morphological categories). Moreover, this description
will also act as a starting point for the discussion of the historical aspect as a means of
explanation of a synchronic system. The lecture will then discuss the structure of Old English
morphology and its progressive simplification and modification during the Middle and Early
Modern English periods, in particular also focussing on typological changes.

Truth and Reconciliation in the Contemporary South African Novel
Ewald Mengel, Wed 10-12, Room 4 (ab 9.3.)
“The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was set up by the Government
of National Unity to help deal with what happened under apartheid” (TRC Homepage). It is an
official political attempt to come to terms with the past “on a morally accepted basis and to
advance the cause of reconciliation.” From 1995 onward, it staged hearings of the victims from
both sides of the Apartheid system. It decided about applications for amnesty by those who were
proven to be guilty of violation of human rights, and about reparation for the victims.
Coming to terms with the past and building a new future for a deeply torn nation is still the most
important political task in contemporary South Africa. It does not come as a surprise that the
novel, which has always been political, here plays an important role. The seminar will deal with
a selection of novels which were published after the fall of the apartheid system and which are
dedicated to burning issues such as the atrocities of the past and the present, the relationship
between the races, the building of a new future for the so-called ‘rainbow nation’, and, a more
theoretical issue, the relation of politics and the aesthetics of the novel. Students are expected to
give an oral presentation on a topic of their choice. A list of topics will be available in a
preparatory meeting late in January (please watch notice board). An essay of about 22-25 pages
and a final written test in the last week of the term will guarantee full credit.
Texts: Antje Kroog, Country of my Skull; Gillian Slovo, Red Dust; Mark Behr, The Smell of
Apples; J.M. Cotzee, Disgrace; Tony Eprile, The Persistence of Memory; Zakes Mda, Ways of
Dying; Zoë Wicomb, David’s Story. (with the exception of Eprile all available as Pbs.)
English political theatre of the last 60 years
Margarete Rubik, Fri 10-12, Room 5 (ab 4.3.)
Recently, a spate of new political plays have surged up, targeting the condition of England, the
war in Iraq but also political culture and morality in general. These contemporary plays are part
of a long tradition of English drama, which has frequently engaged with topical political

54
questions, often in direct opposition to the governments in power at the time. Yet political theatre
has had its ups and downs and seems to happen in waves, with decades of high political activity
alternating with periods in which dramatists seem to turn to more domestic issues. Our survey
will take us from the radical theatrical upheaval of the 50s to the agit-prop of the 70s, the
political plays of the Thatcher era and contemporary plays of the new millenium reflecting the
disappointment with Tony Blair and New Labour.
The playwrights analysed will include Arnold Wesker, Tom Stoppard, Caryl Churchill, Brian
Friel, Howard Barker, David Hare and Michael Frayn.
Contemporary Fiction Gone Astray
Rudolf Weiss, Thu 13-15, Room 3 (ab 10.3.)
In this seminar we will analyse five contemporary English novels which are unconventional in
one way or another. These are off-centre texts, comic as well as serious, gripping and hilarious,
bizarre and naughty. David Lodge's Out of the Shelter (1970), is a largely autobiographical
Bildungsroman, an unusually serious book among the author's primarily comic works. William
Boyd's first novel, A Good Man in Africa (1981), can be seen as a (post)colonial farce, the
political correctness of which remains debatable. Another comic novel, Lynne Truss's
Tennyson's Gift (1996), features the Victorian Poet Laureate of the title as well as Charles
Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll. Charles Higson's Happy Now (1993) explores the
bizarre quest for happiness of the two psychically unbalanced protagonists. Zoe Heller's
compelling and blackly funny Notes on a Scandal, shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2003, a novel
of psychological suspense, provides a sinister and chilling account of an illicit affair of a teacher
with one of her pupils. Presentations and papers will focus on various aspects of the
unconventionality of the texts as well as on questions of narrative technique, character
construction and thematic issues.
Ireland and the Irish as Reflected in Contemporary Irish Short Stories
Franz-Karl Wöhrer, Mon 10-12, Besprechungszimmer 2. Stock
The seminar will focus on recent short stories by Irish writers (written between 1980 and 2004)
dealing with various aspects of Irish life, history and society: the confrontation between tradition
and modernity, home and migration as well as the mystique of Irish sites and landscapes.
Participants are expected to provide not only a perceptive literary analysis of the stories under
discussion, but will also be required to explore some imagological issues, i.e. typical features of
“Irishness” – aspects of Irish mentality, Irish history, politics, religion and the ancient cultural
heritage with its myths and superstitions. The stories selected for in-depth analysis include texts
by distinguished authors such as William Trevor and Edna O’Brien, short fiction by acclaimed
“new voices” like Eilis Ni Dhuibhne, Anne Devlin, Blanaid McKinney and Evelyn Conlon as
well as works by aspiring young talents such as Claire Keegan and Marisa Mackle. Participants
are expected to submit a seminar paper (8.000 to 10.000 words) at the appointed date and to offer
a clearly structured oral presentation (complete with handout) in class.
Requirements: Regular attendance, active participation in the discussions in class, oral
presentation (20 minutes), handout, final essay.

Monika Seidl, Wed 15-17, Room 4 (ab 9.3.)
This seminar will focus on the implications, both literary and cinematic, of translating Jane
Austen’s novels for the screen. We will historicise Jane Austen’s novels in her day and age and
look at the way adaptations for the screen remake the past in their respective contemporary
culture. Theoretical issues will be explored in balance with more practical concerns, like casting
or “authenticity” of setting and costumes. Special emphasis will be put on novels adapted more
than once, such as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility or Emma.
Requirements: regular attendance, participation in class discussions, paper presentation (seminar
conference format on May 13 + 14, attendance obligatory), research paper of 20 (minimum) to
25 pages (maximum), final written essay.

Patterns of Language 1: Poetry
Monika Seidl, Thu 17-18.30, Room 3 (ab 10.3.)
Registration: see p. 15 (16)
This course will offer practical experience of textual analysis focused on poetry. We will explore
how it is that poets communicate with us and affect us. This means we will try to understand the
relationship between the literary text, on the one hand, and how we understand it, on the other.
Poems will be selected from the canonical to the fringe, ranging from The Bard to The Smiths.
Our analyses will also include examples of media transfer, such as poems set to music or visual
renderings.
This class will be taught in two-hour sessions during the first half of the semester.

Registration: see p. 15 (16)
After surveying Shakespeare´s biography and the problems relating to authorship, we shall focus
on a close reading of "King Lear", which will be discussed within the context of his other
tragedies and plays. Aspects to be considered will also include the problem of the text(s) -
Quarto, Folio, composite -, the sources, structure and stagecraft, characters and characterisation,
themes and issues. Last but not least staging will be illustrated with examples from recent
productions.
Requirements: regular attendance, short written paper and oral report, final exam.

Ewald Mengel, Thu 13-15, Unterrichtsraum (ab 10.3.)
Registration: see p. 15 (16)
English Theatre in the 2 nd half of the 20 th century is a very political theatre. After 1968, the
dramatists react provocatively and radically to contemporary political trends and tendencies. The
seminar will focus on a number of plays which can be read as plays about the ‘state of the
nation’: Howard Brenton, The Churchill Play; Howard Brenton/David Hare, Pravda; Caryl
Churchill, Serious Money; David Edgar, Maydays; Harold Pinter, Party Time; David Hare,
Murmuring Judges and The Absence of War. Students are expected to give an oral presentation,
to write an essay of about 12-15 pages or to take a final written test. A list of topics will be
available in the first week of the seminar.
A Literary Journey Through England and Wales:
From the Late Middle Ages to the Romantics (c.1375-1850)

This interactive course is intended for advanced students of English interested in a wide variety
of literary texts from the time of Chaucer to the Romantics, which are all either topographical or
in some way related to a particular region in England or in Wales. The course is particularly
addressed to students preparing for the final exam (Diplomprüfung) intending to supplement
their reading portfolios and/or who wish to deepen their knowledge of both English literature and
cultural history. Several famous pastoral locations featuring in English poetry, as well as
birthplaces and places of residence of various English and Anglo-Welsh authors and sites
otherwise linked with the cultural heritage of England and Wales will be visited in the course of
this literary journey both imaginatively, on the basis of the texts selected, and visually, by means
of slides, videos and by direct online-access. We shall visit Chaucer's Southwark, the cell where
the late 14 th c. visionary and anchorite Julian of Norwich wrote her spiritual autobiography, the
small parish church of Bemerton near Salisbury where George Herbert wrote most of his
meditational verses, Credenhill, the small village in Wales where Thomas Traherne lived and
wrote his religious poems and prose meditations and we shall call at venues portrayed in famous
topographical poems (Penshurst Place, Eton College). We will finally arrive at idyllic sites in the
Lake District celebrated by Wordsworth and many minor Romantics poets. (A complete list of
texts will be put up on the notice board by the end of February).
Requirements: Regular attendance, paper of about 2000 words, one presentation in class (15
mins), active participation in the discussions, final exam.

426 Advanced Cultural Studies: Introduction to Television Studies
(anrechenbar als K531/32 für ZweitfachanglistInnen und als K701)
2st, VO
Gastprof. Voigts-Virchow, Wed 15-17, Unterrichtsraum (ab 9.3.)
In the first part, this lecture course will survey the historical development of television in Britain
and the USA. We will investigate the specific technical and social media framework of TV (its
potential for 'live' transmission, audience positioning in the private home, the cathode ray image,
attention dispersal in channel switching, the 'window' rhetoric and illusion). Television analysis
is essential because the private use of this public medium has its share in determining what is
considered 'normal' in a given community. In the second part, there will be a focus on genre:
how does generic diversification on TV work and what are the defining genres of television (i.e.,
news programmes, soap opera, drama and sitcom, documentary etc.).
Assessment: A final 90-minute exam.

The Gothic: Novels and Movies
(anrechenbar als K 531/32 für ZweitfachanglistInnen – Diplom und Lehramt – und als K 701)
Gastprofessor Eckart Voigts-Virchow, Wed 12-14, Unterrichtsraum (ab 9.3.)
Inaugurated by Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, the Gothic novel was the defining genre of late
18 th -century literature. Fred Botting writes: “Associated with wildness, Gothic signified an overabundance
of imaginative frenzy, untamed by reason and unrestrained by conventional
eighteenth century demands for simplicity, realism and probability. […] Gothic signified a trend
toward an aesthetics based on feeling and emotion and associated primarily with the sublime."
(1996: 3) The novels are marked by a set of standard characteristics: the Gothic edifice as setting
as well as stock characters, such as spectres, monsters, evil aristocrats, and fainting heroines. The
Gothic formula continues to be influential in the contemporary neo-Gothic and countless horror
movies. We will, therefore, also look at Gothic elements in movies such as Ken Russell's Gothic
(1986) Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by Kenneth Branagh (1994) or Bram Stoker's Dracula by
Francis Ford Coppola (1992)
Assessment: oral presentation and term paper
The texts discussed are available as Four Gothic Novels from OUP (ISBN 0-19-282331-0):
Horace Walpole, The Castle of Otranto (1764), William Beckford, Vathek (1786), Matthew
Lewis, The Monk (1796), Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818). We will also use the e-learning

Courses:
622: Hooked by the book! – Literature and ELT
Christian Holzmann, Mon 16-18, Unterrichtsraum (ab 7.3.)
Why should we read What should we read What is the place of literature in the ELT
classroom And in the computer lab Does reading make the heart grow fonder Is life just
mirroring trashy novels Or is it the other way round
These are some of the questions asked, and maybe answered, in this course. We will cover nearly
everything: simple stories, hefty novels, graded readers, young adult potboilers, recent bestsellers
and litearture with a capital L. And on all of them we will cast a teacher's eyes.
Voracious readers and reluctant readers are both welcome (as long as they can justify their ways
to us).
There will be a three-hour session (preferably at school), so be flexible, please.
622: The US in the Context of ELT
Susanne Moser-Ramsauer, Thu 9.30-11, Room 5 (ab 10.3.)
The US as one of the major English speaking countries should – according to the curriculum –
also be covered in ELT classes. So what do we choose to teach at what level and how do we use
the selected materials
In this course we will try to take cultural studies as a point of departure to take a look at various
aspects of US life and culture (the choice of specific topics will be made by the participants
themselves). We will then put them in the context of English language teaching.
We will look at the materials included in Austrian course books for Unter- and Oberstufe and
then try to develop our own material collections as well as try to come up with various ways of
how to use and exploit them in class.
Finally we will also try to justify and reflect upon our selections of topics, materials and
suggested activities and procedures.
Assessment will be mainly based on participants' own projects.
622: The Visual in Language Teaching

61
Monika Seidl, Wed 10.30-12, Room 3 (ab 9.3.)
Starting from the assumption that a picture may be worth a 1000 words, this class will examine
the use of visual images in foreign language learning and will suggest practical applications for
the classroom. We will cover a wide range of topics, such as visual strategies to support
vocabulary acquisition, ways with classical art or film and language learning. You will have the
opportunity to visit schools, observe lessons and gain some teaching practice.
Requirements: regular attendance, participation in class discussions, teaching project.
623: Methodology and ESP (English for Special Purposes)
Barbara Mehlmauer-Larcher, Tue 11-13, Room 5 (ab 8.3.)
This course is part of the ESP Module and its aim is to introduce participants to different ESP
teaching contexts (e.g. HAK, HLA, HTL, adult education etc.) and to provide them with the
necessary background knowledge for developing and implementing ESP teaching programs.
Participants will have the opportunity to visit schools and educational institutions offering ESP
classes for observations and some teaching practice.
Assessment will be mainly based on participants' own projects.
624: Words, words, words: Vocabulary in language teaching
Angelika Rieder, Thu 13-15, Room 5 (ab 10.3.)
This course aims at introducing participants to major issues in vocabulary teaching and learning
that are specifically relevant in the language classroom. We will look at different aspects of
vocabulary knowledge, discuss insights about vocabulary learning and the strategies involved,
and draw conclusions about useful considerations for vocabulary teaching. Further topics will
include testing vocabulary knowledge, designing and assessing vocabulary components of
language courses, and computer-based vocabulary activities.
The course will be carried out with e-learning support, including regular e-learning sessions and
a slightly reduced number of face-to-face sessions. Visits to schools and teaching practice will be
organised during the semester. Assessment will be mainly based on students’ own projects.

629: Principles of ELT Methodology
(anrechenbar als K 601)
This course explores the relevance of applied linguistics to language education. It introduces
participants to principles, concepts and terminology which form the basis of EFL methodology.
We shall concentrate on a few central issues and use these to investigate ideas about language
learning and teaching. These will include: language description for pedagogy, second language
acquisition, curriculum and syllabus design, materials evaluation, analysis and critique of
communicative language teaching and other approaches. The focus will not be on practising
teaching skills but on critical reflection.
Please note: There will be a reading list and regular assignments.

Vorbesprechung und Anmeldung:
Mittwoch, 9.3., 17 h c.t., im Besprechungszimmer
This is an informal seminar for students embarking on, or already working on their Diplomarbeit
or Dissertation. Participants will collaborate in the close and critical examination of ideas about
language and language study. The seminar will give students the opportunity to discuss not only
the progress of their own work but also issues arising from it of a more general theoretical or
practical interest.
Assessment criteria for students studying according to the new curriculum will be discussed in
the first session.

822/K801: Special Seminar for diploma and doctoral students (Literature)
2st, SE p.A.
Registration in the first session
Courses:
Margarete Rubik, Fri 14-16, Room 5 (ab 4.3.)
(auch anrechenbar als 722, K 522)
This class will serve as a forum where students working on their M.A and Ph.D theses can
present their findings, address issues of special interest and discuss problems arising from their
research. It will thus provide opportunities for scholarly discussion among peers, link up students
working in similar fields and offer methodical guidelines as well as practical advice and critical
feedback. Very often, similar methodical problems arise in the course of larger research
projects, so that an exchange of opinions and comparison of strategies for solving such problems
have generally proved helpful and inspiring for students. There will also be room for discussing
literary theory.
All students specialising in literature are welcome, but the class invites participation particularly
from students who are supervised by Prof. Rubik.
All participants will be expected to give a presentation about their research projects in class and
to provide handouts containing some samples of the texts analysed in their theses.
Registration in the first lesson.

Drama as a teaching method in the classroom
Egon Turecek, Wed 17-19, Unterrichtsraum (ab 9.3.)
Drama is a creative and holistic form of learning, which helps students to acquire a wide range of
skills. It can be used as a teaching method in all subjects as well as in cross-curricular projects.

In addition, it serves superior educational purposes: communication skills, personality training,
social learning, etc. The course deals with the methodology and didactics of drama in education:
• Preparation, analysis, evaluation of drama-based lessons
• Games and activities for interaction and communication, awareness, concentration
• Non-verbal and verbal methods of expression: movement and mime, breathing, voice,
etc.
• Guided and unguided improvisation, role play, drama

SLA as Social Practice
Gabriele Kasper, LEIDER KURZFRISTIG ABGESAGT!
The seminar will review examples of theory and research that reconceptualize second language
acquisition (SLA) as a form of social practice. Such proposals offer an alternative to the
dominant view of SLA as an object of cognitive science. Approaches to consider will include
sociocultural theory, language socialization, practice theory, and conversation analysis.
