Theatre Projects in Foreign Language Teaching

Since the summer semester 2015:

In the seminar Theatre Projects in Foreign Language Teaching students try out drama-based methods and learn how to plan and implement a long-term theatre project with pupils. They are then given the opportunity to offer their own after school drama-club at the IGS Geismar. As part of their research internship they can put their newly gained competencies into practice.

In the seminar Teaching Shakespeare the university students first got acquainted with the various possibilities to work with Shakespeare's plays in the English language classroom. Based on these insights, students planned in groups a learning carousel on the life and work of Shakespeare as well as on selected scenes from his play "Romeo and Juliet". An 11th grade of the IGS Geismar tested the different stations and evaluated them as a success and an excellent preparation for their A-Levels.
