Theoretical framework

The theoretical framework are the idea(s) on which the final 2000 word essay are based. Therefore it makes sense to set these out in the beginning so that students can start to put together their final graded task.

The City and Space

Cities are seen as the centre of cultural modernity but this historically has not always been the case, the 19^th century where rapid industrialisation in Britain often lead to a deterioration of the material conditions for the majority of people. What does the city mean today and what right do we have to the space that people inhabit. David Havey’s book Rebel Cities will sever as a key text for this. Student can explore the historical development of the city and the social relations to space. Cultural Geography by Mike Crang’s chapter 4 Literary Landscapes can also be used to look at the city from it’s description and imaginary in literature.

The social relations of the city to space can also be explored through podcasts the ACFM podcast and David Harvey podcast can be used for this. What does it mean to inhabit the city and the right to the space in it. - The themes embedded in this question is; the privatisation of public space, e.g. the creation of privately owned public spaces in London and elsewhere, the right of assemble in public spaces; the gendered right to space, how cites have created spaces that are unsafe for women; Utopianism, what would the Utopic city would look like and what are the prerequisites for a Utopic city.

This seminar intends to provide the theoretical background and applicable tools to teaching and assessing L2 writing. The course will introduce students to theories of writing, text competence, multimodality and text genres. Students will also learn about collaborative as well as process- and genre based approaches to teaching writing. Furthermore, participants of the course will learn to apply diagnostics, test theory and tools of evaluation and feedback to L2 writing.

ACHTUNG: Das Seminar richtet sich anders als auf Puls verzeichnet nur an Studierende der Sekundarstufe Englisch.

In the first part of this seminar, students will be acquainted with the theoretical and methodological concept of “cultural conceptualization” in the framework of Cultural Linguistics. On that basis, students will then apply this concept to the analysis of culturally salient issues in varieties of English and possibly other languages of their choice.
