Welcome to the primary classroom! This course is part of Modul 1 and your first step to teaching English at a primary school. As a foundation this Modul is concerned with the basics of Second Language Acquisition (SLA). While the complementary course will provide you with the linguistic essentials, here we will look at the implications for the teaching profession. We will follow changes in the evolution of SLA that have triggered developments in the teaching of second languages. We will discuss individual, social and developmental aspects of the process and finally postulate formal principles that support second language acquisition in the setting of primary schools. You will be required to read some academic articles on the subject and engage in debates and group work while keeping an eye on the child within yourself and primary school children as a whole. Contents of the course will be addressed in the written exam.
