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.
