Ziele und Inhalte
As a Secondary-II teacher, your role involves igniting a love for reading and developing critical reading skills using various literary and non-literary texts. The goal of teaching literature is to build a foundation for students to independently analyze, create, and innovate, as well as to contemplate their own and others' identities and cultures. This course also emphasizes contemporary methods of teaching literature, incorporating digital tools and technologies. Students will actively engage with the materials, creating assignments grounded in theory that could be suitable for journal submissions or conference presentations.
Understanding the distinction between literary and non-literary texts is crucial, as is familiarity with different genres (such as interviews, news articles, short stories, novels, dramas, etc.) and historical periods (from the Renaissance to the postmodern era). It's vital to master critical analytical tools (ranging from reader-response theory to feminist criticism) and to deeply comprehend the cultures of English-speaking regions. This module also provides opportunities for intercultural learning, encompassing knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and encourages exposure to various forms of otherness and diversity. These experiences can be enhanced by local cultural offerings like theater, music groups, and slam poetry, enriching classroom activities with unique preludes or conclusions.
Examinations, both written and oral, are an integral part of this module. A thorough understanding of Matura and other literary examinations is important, including their underlying principles, to effectively rethink and adapt them in line with modern language teaching approaches.
