In this practice-oriented seminar, participants will analyse, evaluate, adapt and design materials for the EFL (= English as a Foreign Language) classroom. Theoretical and methodological approaches will be discussed and subsequently applied: What constitutes teaching materials in the EFL classroom?; how can materials be evaluated?; how can they be adapted? Standard textbooks commonly used in the EFL classroom in Germany will serve as a basis for exploration. At the end of the seminar, students will design their own materials and present them in class as well as evaluate the materials of their peers.
