Prof. Dr. Euline Cutrim Schmid
Abstract
This course aims to introduce students to the central areas of the English lan-
guage and linguistics. Starting from our conscious or implicit knowledge of (the
English) language, you will develop familiarity with the following fields:
• phonetics & phonology (How do we say it? – the sound system of English)
• morphology (What is in a word? – parts of words and word forms)
• syntax (What is in a sentence? – basic structures and rules)
• semantics (What do we say? – the meaning both of words and sentences)
• pragmatics (What do we intend to say? – the “invisible” meaning of words
and sentences)
The acquisition of the major concepts, terminology and representations of
sounds, words, and sentences will offer you a basis for your future work, both at
the PH Schwäbisch Gmünd and in the foreign language classroom.
Textbook: Yule, George (2016) Sixth Edition. The study of language. Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press.

Abstract
The all new online lecture (+ quizzes and accompanying zoom contact, both to
introduce and round off the lecture) will help you to define your role as an edu-
cator and a foreign language teacher– watch the lecture online and use a variety
of materials to prepare yourself for being a great teacher of English.
Content-wise we will look at
– the basics of English as a subject at school,
– the various theoretical approaches to ELT (English Language Teaching) from
the beginnings to state-of-the-art methodology.
– the steps of practical teaching language (vocab and grammar), cultural stud-
ies, and literature/text work at the (needless to say) fictitious Realschule
Somethingen
– the challenge of your M1 finals and how you can cope with that
11All in all, this lecture comprises most of the major challenges for you as budding
teachers of English.
The course will be held in English.

Hilal Şahin (Lehrbeauftragte)
Abstract
Migration processes during the last decades have contributed to increasing mul-
tilingualism and to the development of multicultural identities in Germany. This
context creates challenges as well as pedagogical opportunities for English teach-
ers. The goal is no longer to only develop English language skills, but also to pro-
mote plurilingual and pluricultural competence (PPC), which is understood as the
ability to use one’s linguistic and cultural resources both for (intercultural) com-
munication and for the learning of languages. In this course, we will examine so-
ciolinguistic, psycholinguistic and educational aspects of learning English as a
third language in primary schools in Germany. The central questions that guide
this course are the following: a) Why is multilingualism important in the context
of (foreign) language teaching? b) Which specific abilities do multilinguals bring
to the task of language learning? c) How can teachers use (migration-based) mul-
tilingualism as a resource that can be useful for all learners in the English as a
foreign language classroom?
Students will also be involved in the design, implementation and evaluation of
language learning tasks that support the development of pupils’ PPC.
Information:
This course is part of a PhD project. The sessions will be recorded for analysis.
The course will be held online via Zoom.
If you cannot attend the first session, please send an e-mail to hilal.sahin@ph-
gmuend.de
Course Requirements:
– Regular attendance, active participation, learning journal
– Oral presentation (if mark is needed)

Andreas Kullick
Abstract
This course introduces you to computer-assisted language learning (CALL), the
use and study of computers and technology in second-language teaching and re-
search. The essential questions that guide this course are the following: a)
Why/When/How should we use CALL in the language learning classroom? b) How
can the integration of practice and research in CALL contribute to the improve-
ment of teaching/learning processes and their outcomes?
This semester, the students will participate in a virtual cooperation project with
teachers and students across Europe. The aim of the project, which will be inte-
grated into the seminar and last several weeks, is to use digital technologies for
professional cooperation and to enhance virtual cooperation and communica-
tion.
In this exciting and practice-oriented course, the students will be given the op-
portunity to gain hands-on experience using CALL resources, designing CALL
teaching and learning activities, and trying them out. Moreover, they will make
new European acquaintances.
Here are some of the topics that are going to be covered in the course:
– Principles of CALL
– Virtual cooperation and communication
– Interactive whiteboard technology
– Tablets & mobile devices
– Apps
– Language learning software
The course will consist of synchronous and asynchronous parts. The synchro-
nous sessions will presumably be held online, e.g. via Zoom.
15The course will be held in English. Enrol via LSF. If you cannot attend the first
session, please send an e-mail to andreas.kullick@ph-gmuend.de.

Andrea Kratzer (Lehrbeauftragte)
Abstract
Over the last couple of years, it has become increasingly common for teachers to
create their own clips to be used in class or during homeschooling as well as to
help students make their own clips themselves in school (project-based learning).
This course is designed for both primary and secondary level. Its purpose is to
turn you into a filmmaker by giving you step by step instructions on filming your
own clips – telling stories, explaining grammar, introducing English to beginners,
producing your own late-night show or coming up with a crime story, to name
just a few. This course focuses on providing theoretical input as well as allowing
you to put it into practice in class. You will learn all about developing and outlining
an idea as well as shooting and editing clips in class. By the end of the course, you
will also know how to use your knowledge to help your own students in school to
become filmmakers themselves.
Sign up if you are eager to acquire the know-how of film making, actively partici-
pate in class as well as produce your own clips.
The course will be held in English. Enrol via LSF. If you cannot attend the first lec-
ture, please send an e-mail to kratzer@sjga.de .
Course Requirements
– Regular attendance
– Active participation in class (research, discussion, producing clips in groups)
– If mark is needed, producing your own clip + short written assignment (ex-
plaining your clip)

Dr. Susan Weitmann
Abstract
Rhetoric is the study and art of communicating well and persuasively. It encom-
passes both writing and speaking, but this course will focus exclusively on
speeches. You will learn about how to develop sound and convincing arguments,
consider Aristotle’s triangle of speaker, audience, and subject, and make appeals
to logos, pathos, and ethos. In order to be able to create and deliver your own
persuasive and riveting speech, we will also try out rhetorical devices that can
affect the audience in important and varying ways. To be a great speaker, it is
helpful to have read and heard some soaring speeches. Therefore, we will exam-
ine famous English-language speeches throughout history to see what strategies
the speakers employed. Being able to communicate and persuade is necessary to
being an effective teacher; moreover, it is an increasingly important (and forgot-
ten) skill in our democratic society in which citizens’ voices are necessary to com-
municate our needs and desires in an open society. Here’s an opportunity for you
to practice.
The course will be held in English.
Please, enrol via internet. If you cannot attend the first lecture, please send an
e-mail to susan.weitmann@ph-gmuend.de
Course requirements
– regular and attendance (no more than two absences)
– homework
– a final speech (for a grade)

Abstract
Tennessee Williams‘ plays The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire or Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof and many others are among the most successful American dra-
mas ever. They are constantly staged at German theatres, and are valuable re-
sources for teaching language and literature at German middle schools.
Maybe you have watched some of the old Tennessee Williams movies starring
Elisabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando or Paul Newman (nice body in a white shirt) but
probably that is one of the few things you know about the playwright’s great –
and very American – dramatic world. Here are some basic facts – in order to get
to know more, you will have to join the course and take part in our discussions
about:

Important personal note:
This type of course is especially for those who are really interested in reading
and discussing literary texts – and who consider them a valuable source of joy
and also of learning ... others are not welcome. For this reason you are expected
to have read all the books on the agenda before the semester starts – in the
second session there will be a reading comprehension test, which you will def-
initely pass if you have fully read the books and definitely fail if you have not.
Course Requirements
– Reading comprehension test
– Regular attendance and active participation
– Term paper for “benoteter Schein”
21The course will be held in English.
Enrol via internet. If you cannot attend the first session, please send an e-mail

Abstract
The idea of this course is to have you get rid of your thick (German) accent and
make your English sound more authentic in terms of pronunciation of single
sounds and words as well as speech melody.
Together we’re going to take a look at what kind of pronunciation mistakes espe-
cially German speakers of English make and reduce them by doing a range of pro-
nunciation exercises (which will also give you an idea of how to teach pronuncia-
tion to your own students later on).
Furthermore, we’re going to compare pronunciation and spelling and get to know
techniques that’ll help you find out the correct pronunciation of a word rather
than just guessing it (knowledge of International Phonetic Alphabet required).
All material will be provided on StudIP.
The course will be held in English.
Enrol via the internet. If you cannot attend the first lecture, please send an e-
mail to Nbornkessel@aol.com.
Course Requirements
– regular attendance (no more than two absences)
– active participation (caution: you’ll be required to talk in class)

Abstract
This “get-together” offers you the opportunity to present your ideas and thoughts
concerning good teaching to a greater but, nevertheless, comparatively small au-
dience. We will plan and examine your lessons carefully, try to assist with “clever”
ideas and evaluate what you have come up with. But don’t forget: it is you who
has to do most of the work. I expect you to be willing and eager to work in small
groups and to share your ideas with us.
We will also have a closer look into some secondary sources, which should help
you to plan and teach your perfect lesson.
The course will be held in English and in German. Enrol via StudIP. If you cannot
attend the first lecture, please make sure and send an e-mail to kornetta@t-

Abstract
This course links theories of second language acquisition (SLA) to their practical
application in foreign language teaching. We will start by discussing the stages
children go through in acquiring their first language. We will then consider some
influential theories of SLA and examine the main similarities and differences be-
tween first and second language acquisition. As the course progresses, we will be
considering the implications of what we have learned for foreign language teach-
ing. Students will learn about several language teaching methodologies (for pri-
mary and secondary levels) and their applications in the school context. By the
end of this course students should be able to a) name and summarize major the-
ories in the development of research on SLA b) evaluate SLA theories and re-
search critically, and c) apply SLA theories to classroom language teaching.
Course Requirements
– Regular attendance and active participation

Abstract
This course is for those who are interested in the UK and its history, especially in
how the past left its stamp on both the people and the countryside: the sun never
sets on the British empire….Working on the topic will be based on creative ap-
proaches, that will help you to easily memorize much more than usual (here:
about Kings and Queens and the Brits today and back then) and show you how to
handle project phases at school later: we will be drawing and painting and doing
other kinds of artwork such as sculpturing and songwriting, as well as creating
collages, video clips or role-play material etc.. Discover the artist and/or the his-
torian ‒ or both ‒ in your teacher's personality…..

Abstract
If you’re still trying to figure out the meaning of the title, you should definitely
take this seminar and find out yourself!
Used by native and non-native speakers around the world, numerous varieties of
the English language can be found, some of which even seem to be a language of
their own. In this course we’ll examine a selection of these modern varieties in
terms of historical development, characteristics, meaning, and use to fully under-
stand the global impact and importance of the English language.
The course will be held in English. Enrol via LSF. If you cannot attend the first
lecture, please send an e-mail to Nbornkessel@aol.com.
Course Requirements
– Regular attendance
– Active participation
– Oral presentation on one variety of English (recommended source:

Natalie Bornkessel
Abstract
In this seminar we will not turn the classroom upside down, but rather inside out.
What does that mean? Flipped classroom is a teaching strategy that more or less
exchanges the traditional roles of homework and teaching learning content,
meaning that learning content is adopted at home and exercises are done at
school.
You will be provided with a theoretical insight into the teaching strategy and into
the production of educational videos and suitable exercises. Eventually you will
produce your own material (which may also come in handy in another pan-
demic…).
The course will be held in English. Enrol via LSF. To produce videos and exer-
cises, it is mandatory to bring your own device (laptops, tablet computers; pref-
erably with cameras). Should that be impossible for you, send an e-mail to

Dr. Reiner Kornetta
Abstract
The EUROCOM oral exam at Realschulen is the final exam for pupils before grad-
uating in grade 10. This compact is designed to help and prepare the pupils in
very small groups, sometimes, and at its best, in a one to one environment/sur-
rounding.
This is what/whom I need: Motivated students willing to communicate with the
pupils. You should also have the capacity (or be willing to get it) of analysing what
the pupils produce, help them to make improvements and offer them some sort
of strategy for oral presentations. Correcting mistakes once they have finished
their presentations is crucial, too. But most importantly: You need to be patient,
cheerful sometimes, offer advice and help and give your pupils the feeling that
they can get the job done.
We will meet at the Dreißentalschule in Oberkochen; there might be a pre-&
prep- meeting before, I will let you know in due time. This seminar is good as a
PRE ISP Seminar.

Abstract
Approximately 80 per cent of all communication is said to be accomplished by
body language, which is both surprising and important for teachers of English. In
the course of the seminar we will try to identify and practice (!!) useful commu-
nicative patterns – for school-life this mainly includes ways to show and improve
upon the teacher’s status in (front of) the group, to attract and direct attention,
to motivate and discipline as well as to create a friendly relationship with the
class.
Please note that video analysis may be a fundamental part of this course...
The course will be held in English.

Abstract
This is not a traditional grammar course and DOES NOT take the place of Gram-
mar I. Rather, its purpose is to provide a forum for us to brainstorm and collect
good grammar activities that can be used in your classrooms to introduce, prac-
tice, and/or revise some key grammatical structures.
Our goal is to create a grammar activities collection with ideas that you can use
and reuse in your own classrooms. The quality of the ideas depends upon YOUR
creativity and work. We will discuss and try out most of them, see what works
and why.
Come if you’re prepared to actively participate in the project!

Abstract
Ready to boost your translation game to the next level?
This class will help you practice DE-E/ E-DE translation by enhancing your vocab-
ulary and buffing up your language skills. The main goal here is to help you de-
velop and hone the skills necessary to tackle the M3 exam's required newspaper
article and Ten Sentences in the translation section. This will be achieved through
specialized exercises and discussions surrounding things like connotation, nuance
and sentence structure. We talk translation techniques, touch on grammar, and
dive into idioms and basic vs. advanced vocab. Current affairs and U.S. focused
politics as well as dissections of previous exams form the base of this interactive
class.
By the end of the semester, you'll be able to transfer meaning from English to
German and vice versa with much greater ease than before.
The course will be held in English. Enrol via LSF. If you cannot attend the first lec-

Anmeldung per LSF; Note that this seminar will only take place if the PH can assign
rooms that allow for sufficient distancing according to the Covid regulations. If
maskless teaching is not possible (unlike now) dealing with body language does
not really make too much sense. However, for those who need the Schein and for
the sake of your studies I promise to then come up with an alternative format ….

Ryan Dennis who once worked at the PHSG for the English Department wrote his
very first novel: The Beasts They turned Away. We are going to read, interpret
and analyze this really amazing and spectacular novel in class and have Ryan Den-
nis as a special guest in January 2022 in Gmünd as the author of The Beasts They
45Turned Away. He is going to read some chapters out of his novel on a Friday night.
The Saturday following a workshop is scheduled.
Additionally, and for a better understanding of his novel, we need to read Hem-
ingway´s The Old Man and the Sea and watch Shakespeare’s King Lear.
Only sign up if you are interested in Ireland, farming, hardship, strange kids and
bizarre old men!
You must attend the “Lesung” and the workshop in January. No lame excuses!
