English around the World: A changing ELT context (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Anne Barron
Termin:
wöchentlich | Dienstag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 17.10.2022 - 03.02.2023 | C 5.019 Seminarraum
Inhalt: British English, less so American English, is the standard adopted in the EFL classroom. In schools, learners are made aware that English is spoken in India, Ireland, New Zealand and many more places. However, they are taught nothing of the systematic nature of additional standards of English, such as Indian English, Irish English or New Zealand English. Nor do textbooks take heed of the fact that learners will be using English in English as a Lingua Franca contexts - contexts which again are associated with a particular use of English. This course examines the huge diversity of the English language in today's globalised world and contrasts this with Standard English taught in schools. We read about and carry out linguistic analyses and do so frequently taking a cross-varietal method of analysis. We also contrast textbook presentations with research on Global English and discuss pegagogical reprecussions and applications. Both theoretical and methodological issues form an important part of the course. Students are required to conduct empirical research primarily using corpora (naturally occurring spoken and written language). The complementary online course also belonging to this module introduces students to corpus linguistic methods and equips students with the requisite skills in this area. Within the context of the Prüfungsleistung, students are given the opportunity to contemplate how they might use their skills in corpus linguistics to introduce the concept of varieties / English as a Lingua Franca to the classroom or they are asked to conduct an empirical analysis of a variety of their choice using corpus linguistic materials. Other options include textbook analyses of the status of Global Englishes with consideration of the potential for corpus linguistics or an empirical analysis of current norms in teaching or of teacher attitudes towards the current discussion of potential norms. The course will be conducted through English.

Inhalt: This course offers a hands-on introduction to Corpus Linguistics, the study of language using large, digitized collections of naturally occurring speech and writing, known as corpora. You will learn how to access, analyze, and visualize corpus data and work with online resources and software applications. In addition, the course aims to demonstrate some of the applications of Corpus Linguistics, more specifically in the areas of language variation studies and English language teaching.
