You need your university e-mail address and your personal log-in. Instructions will be provided when you have logged in. Please pay attention to the principles explained in the next section. If you have any further questions write to [email protected] Informationen und Verhaltensregeln zur LSF-Einschreibung Groupware: Bitte kontrollieren Sie regelmäßig Ihr universitäres Webmail-Postfach und stellen Sie sicher, dass es nicht voll ist. Es ist auch möglich, alle Mails von diesem auf ein anderes Konto automatisch umleiten zu lassen: Informieren Sie sich gegebenenfalls. Das Lehrpersonal kommuniziert mit Ihnen über die Groupware (https://groupware.unigreifswald.de) per E-Mail. Der Login erfolgt mit den zentralen Authentifikationsdaten (WLAN, LSF, Webmail, etc.), die Sie mit Ihrem ersten Studentenausweis erhalten haben. Zeitraum: Das Einschreibeverfahren findet in zwei Phasen statt. In der ersten Phase erfolgt die Einschreibung. Nach einer Pause von etwa einer Woche werden die vorläufigen Teilnehmerlisten veröffentlicht. Studenten können sich dann in der zweiten Phase für noch freigebliebene Plätze eintragen. Über die genauen Termine und Fristen wird gesondert weiter unten auf dieser Seite informiert. Kriterien: Die primären Auswahlkriterien für Lehrveranstaltungen sind die für die Lehrveranstaltung festgelegte Semesterpriorität (Studienphase, Musterstudienplan) und die für die jeweilige Lehrveranstaltung ggf. laut Studienordnung vorher zu absolvierenden Prüfungen/Module. Sprachpraxis: Studenten dürfen maximal drei Sprachpraxiskurse pro Semester wählen. Eintragung: Bitte tragen Sie sich nur in diejenigen Lehrveranstaltungen ein, an denen Sie auch tatsächlich teilnehmen wollen. Eintragen in unverhältnismäßig viele 6 Lehrveranstaltungen kann Ihre Rückstufung in allen Veranstaltungen zur Folge haben, in besonders schwerwiegenden Fällen auch Ihre Nichtberücksichtigung. Abmeldung: Sobald Sie wissen, dass Sie an einer Lehrveranstaltung (z.B. aufgrund einer Überschneidung) nicht teilnehmen können, sind Sie verpflichtet sich von dieser Lehrveranstaltung umgehend selbst abzumelden, um ihren Kommilitonen auf der Warteliste die Teilnahme und die frühzeitige Vorbereitung auf die Lehrveranstaltung (z.B. Lektüre, Literaturerwerb) zu ermöglichen. Erste Sitzung: Die erfolgreiche Zulassung per Selbstbedienungsportal ist nicht rechtsverbindlich. Eine verbindliche Teilnahme treffen die Kursleiter in der ersten Sitzung. Sie müssen in der ersten Sitzung anwesend sein und gegebenenfalls auch zwingend zu erbringende Prüfungsleistungen nachweisen (z.B. erfolgreicher Abschluss des Grundstudiums oder eines vorgeordneten Moduls), da Sie ansonsten ggf. Ihren Platz an einen Mitstudenten verlieren. Im Umkehrschluss heißt dies, dass es auch ratsam ist, die erste Sitzung zu besuchen wenn man "nur" auf der Warteliste steht, da eventuell Plätze frei werden. Änderungen: Daten wie Namen, Orte oder Zeiten von Lehrveranstaltungen können sich ändern. Zudem können Lehrveranstaltungen in seltenen Fällen in Gänze entfallen oder es können neue Lehrangebote kurzfristig hinzukommen. Bitte achten Sie daher immer zu Semesterbeginn auf aktuelle Aushänge im Institut (Eingangsbereich und Bürotüren) und auf der Homepage des IfAA. Ordnungen: Der Ablauf, die Inhalte und die Prüfungen des Studiums sind in der Prüfungs- und Studienordnung geregelt. Eine gründliche Lektüre zu Beginn des Studiums spart langfristig Zeit und Aufwand und macht den Studienablauf durchschau- und planbar. Prüfungs- und Studienordnungen enthalten die jeweils gültigen Regularien sowie Musterstudienpläne und Modulhandbücher mit weiteren Informationen zu Inhalt und Aufbau des Studiums. Rückfragen: Mit Fragen wenden Sie sich bitte an den Fachschaftsrat oder die Studienberaterinnen der Anglistik/Amerikanistik oder direkt an die Lehrenden. Wichtige Informationen zum Studienbetrieb Prüfungsvorbereitung Kandidat[inn]en für alle Abschlußprüfungen außer Sprachpraxis müssen sich rechtzeitig (i.d.R. drei Monate vor dem jeweiligen Prüfungstermin) bei der/dem jeweiligen Prüfer[in] melden, um sich mit ihr/ihm über die Prüfungsthemen und -schwerpunkte zu verständigen. European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) Zu den Kriterien der Punktvergabe für alte Lehramtsstudiengänge sowie für ausländische Studierende siehe die Anmerkungen auf Seite 38. B.A.- und M.A.-Studierende können die Richtlinien der Punktvergabe für die Module den jeweiligen Prüfungs- bzw. Studienordnungen entnehmen. Internationale Beziehungen Die Greifswalder Anglistik/Amerikanistik hat internationale Verbindungen zu Einrichtungen in Europa und Nordamerika. Wer sich für ein Studium in den USA bzw. Kanada interessiert, kann sich bei Dr. Anette Brauer (Widener University, University of Manitoba, University of Saskatchewan, allgemeine Fragen zu Fulbright) oder über die Webseite des Akademischen Auslandsamts informieren; Informationen über ERASMUS/SOKRATES-Studienaufenthalte innerhalb der EU erhalten Sie von Frau Gericke, der ERASMUS Koordinatorin des Instituts.

ACHTUNG: Diese Veranstaltung wird NUR IM WINTERSEMESTER angeboten! maximum participants: 60 23 The History of American Literature (Vorlesung) 2 SWS Di 18-20 HS 1 4002008 Sebastian Domsch This lecture will provide a survey of American literature from the colonial period until today. We will look at the way that the particular history of North America continually shaped its literature, from the religious writings of the early settlers and the revolutionary writings that led up to independence through the increasingly successful attempts at finding a genuinely American literary voice, and all the way to the ethnic and aesthetic diversifications that particularly mark the 20th century. The aim is to help students put individual texts into a larger context. RECOMMENDED READING: For a selection of texts that will be central to the lecture, please consult the reading list which you can download from our website. The majority of texts can be found either in the Heath Anthology of American Literature or the Norton Anthology of American Literature (5 vols.). Also recommended is H. Zapf (ed.) Amerikanische Literaturgeschichte. maximum participants: 150 The Linguistic Tool-Kit: Descriptive and Analytical Frameworks for the Study of English (Vorlesung) 4002001 2 SWS Di 14-16 HS 2 Amei Koll-Stobbe This series of lectures will introduce the scientific study of the English language from the perspective of language use. The aim of the course is to provide students with a methodological tool-kit that will enable them to critically analyse the English language and its uses in real communicative settings. A reader will be provided to assist first-year students in organizing and mastering the course contents. Since we constantly update our reader and course material, the lecture series may also be of interest to students preparing for the final exam. maximum participants: 100 Introduction to English Grammar (Vorlesung) 2 SWS Di 10-12 HS Wollweberstr. 1 4002002 Heike Gericke This lecture is intended to give a survey of Modern English grammar in order to provide students with basic theoretical knowledge of word phrases and their constituents, their syntactic behaviour within simple sentences, and of multiple sentences in English. Course material will be provided as a reader. Participants are required to attend regularly and actively. Together this course and the ‘Introduction to Phonetics & Phonology’ form the module ‘Practical Linguistics’ (1st semester). maximum participants: 150 A Midsummer Night’s Dream in production (Theatre Group) 4002099 Mi 16-18 R 23 Mascha Hansen & Martin Holtz In this Übung/Seminar you will experience Shakespeare as you never have before.

Under supervision, students will develop an individual study plan to achieve their personal writing goals with the help of a reader and a handbook. Participants will study and practice different writing techniques, expand their vocabulary, sharpen their sense of style, address frequent grammar and syntax issues, and learn how to structure ideas in a meaningful way. Lastly, we will learn how to formulate a hypothesis and how the university library’s catalogues and databases can be used to find appropriate academic literature upon which one could base an essay or term paper. Students must purchase a copy of the Hodges’ Harbrace Handbook (15th edition 2003; please buy a [cheaper] used copy). A reader will be available at the beginning of the semester. maximum participants: 12 Speaking (Übung) 2 SWS Mo 12-14 4002014 Heike Gericke R8 Constructing arguments, verbally and in writing, is a core skill at university. In this course we will practise how to make personal opinion and fact based arguments (pro-con discussions) and how to give global and selective summaries (primarily) in spoken English. Be prepared to give short presentations regularly and to hand in short compositions from time to time. 25 maximum participants: 20 Presentation skills (Übung) 2 SWS Mo 12-14 R 34 4002015 Jörg Weber B.A. students and future teachers inevitably need to hold presentations—both here at university and in their later careers. An introduction to basic presentation skills—including both verbal and non-verbal aspects such as structuring techniques, style/register, body language, the use of visual aids, and effective time management—and videos of felicitous (as well as less felicitous...) presentations will then be followed by a number of practice sessions. Participants will provide useful feedback to the presenter. Students will give a final presentation towards the end of the semester. Lastly, we will learn how to formulate a hypothesis and how the university library’s catalogues and databases can be used to find appropriate academic literature upon which one can base an academic presentation or term paper. maximum participants: 20 Writing about News (Übung) 2 SWS Di 12-14 R8 4002017 Anette Brauer As students read various articles from British and American newspapers and magazines, they will enlarge their vocabulary in fields such as science, politics, and culture. Techniques necessary for reading non-fiction texts, e.g. inferring and prediction, will be practiced. In addition, students will write various texts on those contemporary issues themselves (both academic and journalistic styles). maximum participants: 15 Reading (Übung) 2 SWS Di 12-14 4002018 Heike Gericke R 34 In this course we will read texts of various styles and forms to be then analysed and discussed in class. This course will provide practice in specific skills (dealing with unknown vocabulary and complex structures, reading techniques) and lots of opportunities (group discussions, role plays) to enhance your range of vocabulary, your fluency and communicative confidence. maximum participants: 20 Listening (Übung) 2 SWS Di 14-16 4002019 Jörg Weber R8 The goal of this course is to further improve your listening skills by listening to authentic speakers of British and American English. Occasionally, speakers from other countries (e.g. Australia, New Zealand, Canada) will also be included. Students will practice listening for specific information (phrases, words, facts), understanding and interpreting different aspects, and writing global and selective summaries. Furthermore, students will expand their vocabulary and their understanding of regional, historical and cultural aspects. Students ought to be prepared and motivated to expand their horizons, both geographically and culturally. maximum participants: 20 Presentations (Übung) 2 SWS Mi 10-12 4002020 Heike Gericke R 34 This course is designed to equip students with the essential communication and language skills needed for giving a presentation. We will analyse examples shown on video and 26 practise skills such as structuring information, using an appropriate style of language, using visual aids and adopting the right body language. This course will culminate with each student giving a presentation in class. maximum participants: 20 Reading about America (Übung) 2 SWS Mi 12-14 R 24 4002021 Anette Brauer While practicing the various forms of reading, we will thematically focus on selected aspects of American culture. The aim is to develop techniques to understand formal, advanced academic and journalistic texts in detail and to enhance both your passive and productive vocabulary. maximum participants: 20 Writing (Übung) 2 SWS Mi 12-14 4002022 Heike Gericke R 21 In regular meetings as a class we will discuss basic principles of text production and features of academic texts. In individual tutorials we will talk about your texts/assignments and work on better text organisation, style, and grammar and lexis. OBLIGATORY BOOK: Hodges, John C., et.al., Harbrace College Handbook. Harcourt Brace College Publishers, 1994 (Twelfth edition) or 1998 (Thirteenth edition). maximum participants: 12 Reading and Listening (Übung) 2 SWS Mi 12-14 R 34 4002023 Jörg Weber In this course we will practice listening and reading in preparation for the "Understanding texts" module exam and your further studies. maximum participants: 20 Reading and Speaking: Politics (Übung) 2 SWS Mi 16-18 R8 4002024 Christianna Stavroudis In this course, we will be using various news sources to analyze and think critically about the rhetoric used in political writing and reporting. As a class, we will become acquainted with the political systems of a variety of Anglophone countries and draw conclusions together about how these systems influence their respective cultures. maximum participants: 20 Advanced Grammar: The Grammar of Written English (Übung) 2 SWS Do 10-12 R8 or: Do 12-14 R 23 4002025 Heike Gericke In this course we shall deal with features of discourse and grammar typical of written English by analysing complex sentence structures in texts and practising advanced sentence patterns in class, at home and online. OBLIGATORY TEXTBOOK: Mark Foley & Diane Hall. MyGrammarLab. Advanced C1/C2. (Pearson Education Limited 2012) ISBN: 9781408299111 maximum participants: 20 Critical Reading (Übung) 4002026 27 2 SWS Do 10-12 R 24 Jörg Weber Critical reading is a key skill that required at university and beyond. It is a process by which one reads, analyses and evaluates complex texts. The goal of critical reading is to reflect on issues such as bias and objectivity, logic and rationale of argumentations, strength of evidence, plot and thread, creativity, reading ‘between the lines’ and looking for alternative viewpoints within or outside a particular fictional and non-fictional text. Students will practice reading and understanding advanced, multi-layered texts such as news reports, book reviews, articles from academic journals, and short stories to improve their advanced reading skills. maximum participants: 12 Writing for Radio, TV, and Film (Übung) 2 SWS Do 12-14 R8 4002027 Anette Brauer This course aims to develop your analytical and argumentative as well as creative writing by concentrating on the special challenges of writing for film and TV, i.e. spoken language. Texts will range from commercials and public announcements to news, editorials and commentaries with movie scripts as the creative highlight. Part of the course will also focus on presenting those texts in front of (our very own, small) camera as a form of speaking practice. maximum participants: 15 Reading and Listening (Übung) 2 SWS Do 12-14 R 34 4002029 Jörg Weber In this course we will practice listening and reading in preparation for the "Understanding texts" module exam and your further studies. maximum participants: 20 Reading the News (Übung) 2 SWS Fr 10-12 R 34 4002030 Anette Brauer If you seriously want to study the language, literatures and cultures of the United Kingdom and North America, you must follow those countries’ most recent developments, discussions, and news stories. We will practice your reading abilities by using news reports from predominantly British and American newspapers and magazines like The Guardian and The New York Times. maximum participants: 20 Listening (Übung) 2 SWS Fr 12-14 4002032 Anette Brauer R 34 We will practice the various forms of listening (listening for general understanding, listening for specific information and for specific words) in order to advance your understanding of spoken and predominantly formal English. America will be our focus with regard to content and pronunciation. However, other national varieties will be included. maximum participants: 20 28 Englische Sprachwissenschaft Bilingualism in the Educational Sector (Proseminar) 2 SWS Mo 10-12 R8 4002038 Melanie Burmeister As Ms. Burmeister is at present on maternity leave, a replacement has been applied for. Details will be announced as soon as they are known. English Lexicology (Proseminar) 2 SWS Mo 14-16 R 23 4002034 Sebastian Knospe More than other components, the lexicon of a language tends to be in constant flux – not only because of the need to find new words which designate new things (e.g. fresh inventions), but also because of the wish of the speakers to have differentiated sets of expressions at their disposal. As a result, the vocabulary reflects both sociocultural processes of change and linguistic variation. Against this background, it is the aim of this seminar to study the English lexicon as an open, adaptive system which keeps on evolving and offers a pool of options from which competent language users may choose. Adopting a speaker-oriented perspective, we will reflect on particular problems such as word formation, meaning change and sense relations, but also on denotative and connotative meaning as well as euphemisms and dysphemisms. Additionally, we will take a look at the creation of neologisms. Last but not least, we will investigate how dictionary makers systematize the complex and ever-changing stock of words for different kinds of users. maximum participants: 30 Stylistics – Exploring Meaning, Style and Effects in Texts (Proseminar) 2 SWS Mi 12-14 R8 4002035 Fabian Gohl Traditionally located at the interface between linguistics and literary studies, stylistics aims to examine the language of (literary) texts from a linguistic viewpoint and tries to explain how that language creates meaning, style and effect. The aim of this course is to equip students with an analytical linguistic toolkit in the fields of meaning, grammar as well as sound and writing shapes that helps them read and analyse the style and effect of different texts competently. In this seminar we will not only focus on written literary texts but also analyse the language of various other text types, such as advertisements, newspaper articles, films and poetry slams. Students participating in this class should be prepared to conduct and present their own case study. maximum participants: 30 29 Politeness and Impoliteness (Proseminar) 2 SWS Do 08-10 R8 4002036 Fabian Gohl This seminar aims to examine the language of both polite and impolite behaviour in different social settings and contexts (the Internet, TV & film, authentic face-to-face communication and literature). More precisely, we will cover different theories of (im-) politeness and seek to critically apply them to selected examples. In doing so, students will also (re)acquaint themselves with basic pragmatic concepts, such as speech act theory, the cooperative principle, relevance theory and social markedness. All students participating in this class should be prepared to conduct and present their own case study by collecting and analysing authentic linguistic data in the course of the semester. maximum participants: 30 Tool-Kit Tutorium (Tutorium) 2 SWS Do 10-12 R 23 4002033 Fabian Gohl This tutorial is for all students participating in the ‘Linguistic Tool-Kit’ series of lectures. It is designed to help students find an easier way to master the introduction to English linguistics. The tutorial will be a forum for discussion, revision and the exchange of ideas. Students will learn more about the central topics, questions and methods of the scientific study of the English language already introduced in the lecture. Additional reading material and exercises will be provided in the course of the semester. maximum participants: 30 Tutorium “EWL: Local and Global Identities” (Proseminar/Tutorium) 4002040 2 SWS Do 10-12 R 34 Melanie Burmeister As Ms. Burmeister is at present on maternity leave, a replacement has been applied for. Details will be announced as soon as they are known. Cognitive Linguistics: Language and Metaphor (Proseminar) 2 SWS Do 16-18 R 23 4002037 Christianna Stavroudis In this linguistics seminar, we will look at ways to analyze metaphorical and figurative language from a linguistic perspective. Students will read classic articles from the field of cognitive linguistics as well as carry out applied mini-projects relevant to studies in literature, stylistics, semiotics, and translation. maximum participants: 25 30 Literaturwissenschaft und Cultural Studies MadWomen Writers (Seminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Mo 12-14 R 23 4002041 Mascha Hansen Women writers have a tradition of being (considered) mad, and of writing about (their) madness. This seminar will focus on “mad” women writers: Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, and Sylvia Plath. We will discuss the history of madness, the reasons that may have led to such (impressions of) ‘mental disturbances’, and the possibilities these writers explore of voicing them in their writings, of translating them into literature: melancholia, intellectual pursuits, the seeking of fame, creativity, isolation and repression, and, ultimately, the presentation of consciousness. However, their writings should not be reduced to being considered primarily as works of madness: the seminar will certainly swerve from its title to discuss the poems and novels in their own right: as (great) works of art. Novels: Cavendish, The Blazing World, Woolf, The Waves (subject to negotiation), Plath, The Bell Jar. maximum participants: 30 Studying Poetry (Proseminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Mo 16-18 R 34 4002042 James Fanning Robert Frost famously said: “Poetry is what gets lost in translation.” He might have added: “... or in a paraphrase”. In fact he did add, more controversially: “It is also what is lost in interpretation.” In this seminar, building on the ‘Introduction to Literary Studies’, we shall consider just what ‘poetry’ might actually be, and practise analysing poems, paying attention the interplay of content and form in order to see how they may be interpreted. Poems for discussion in class will be provided as a reader, but all participants should (before the beginning of the semester) buy and read the following useful introductory overview by a prominent contemporary poet: Wainwright, Jeffrey. The Basics: Poetry. NY & London: Routledge 2004 maximum participants: 30 Underground and Counterculture (Seminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Di 10-12 & Do 14-16 R 8 2x pro Woche 02.12.2014 – 29.01.2015. 4002043 Jörg Weber The terms ‘underground’ and ‘counter-culture’ are often linked to concepts such as avantgardism and experimentation, antiestablishmentarianism, anarchy and a general, if not radical, opposition to the current trends and norms. Philosophers, authors, artists, and others across the ages have been challenging the existing ‘mainstream’ and created alternative values and lifestyles. We will be looking at key texts and speeches from across western history to discover and debate the worldviews of, among others, Socrates, Jesus, Thomas More, Lord Byron, Abraham Lincoln, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Fernando Pessoa, Czesław Miłosz, Charles Bukowski, and Jack Kerouac, and will look for similarities and differences in their particular literary/stylistic and theoretical approaches. This course will include a look behind the scenes of a theatre production at Theater Vorpommern as well as an actual visit to an evening theatre show. A complete list of texts to be read (poems, prose narrative, and excerpts from novels) will be published on LSF during the summer. This course will include a look behind the scenes of a theatre production at Theater Vorpommern as well as an actual visit to an evening theatre show. maximum participants: 30 31 Charles Dickens: Great Expectations (Seminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Di 16-18 R 34 4002044 James Fanning A complex mixture of genres (realistic ‘Bildungsroman’ with strong ‘Gothic’ and fairy-tale elements and a touch of the detective novel), Great Expectations (1861) exemplifies the changes from the optimism typical of early Victorian novels to a darker view of life. We shall study various aspects of it including the question of realism, plot structure, narrative technique and ideology, including, of course, gender issues. Read the text as soon as possible. You should buy the Norton Critical Edition (this includes both copious, helpful footnotes and a selection of very useful supplementary material). Towards the end of the semester we shall also discuss some film versions, comparing them with the novel. RECOMMENDED INTRODUCTORY READING: Jordan, J.O. (ed.).

Malden & Oxford: Blackwell 2005 maximum participants: 30 The American Dream in Literature (Proseminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Di & Do 16-18 R 8 4002045 Martin Holtz The American Dream is one of the most frequently mentioned and celebrated, yet highly elusive and malleable concepts in U.S. national self-understanding (It is also a favorite exam topic). Even though the term was coined in the 1930s, the idea has found application throughout American history, from the belief in a promised land among the Puritan settlers, to the Declaration of Independence and its guarantee of the pursuit of happiness as an inalienable right, interpreted widely as the personal responsibility for using the unlimited opportunities that the land provides, be it upward social mobility or the achievement of justice and equality through hard work. In literature, the American Dream has been celebrated for its inspiring idealism and criticized for its implied competitiveness and hypocrisy. We will read texts from the colonial period to the 20th century, among them classics like The Great Gatsby and Death of a Salesman in order to discuss various manifestations and reflections of the American Dream. A course outline with a full list of texts to read will be made available on LSF during the semester break. This course will take place twice a week during November and December. maximum participants: 35 America’s Selfie: An Introduction to Popular Culture in the USA (Proseminar: CS) 4002046 2 SWS Mi 16-18 R 34 Anette Brauer Americans hold on to many – sometimes contradictory – beliefs that are shaped, reflected, and reinforced by popular culture. In the age of globalization, American popular culture is spreading those American beliefs worldwide. Time to analyze them in detail. Are those beliefs rooted in the ‘American character’ (and history)? Or are they simply the appropriate way to deal with the challenges of (post-) modern life? With the help of theories of popular culture, we will analyze contemporary pop-cultural phenomena (for example connected to family, food, health, and sports) that originated in the US and discuss and evaluate them critically. maximum participants: 25 32 Scotland and the UK (Seminar: CS) 2 SWS Do 14-16 & Di 10-12 R 8 2x pro Woche 14.10.2014 – 27.11.2014 4002047 Jörg Weber We will discuss the potential future of Scotland in the light of the referendum on Scottish independence (September 2014). All signs predict that the situation will – regardless of the outcome of the referendum itself – not be as it was before. The inner structures of Scotland itself and of the United Kingdom will need to be readjusted to meet the needs of tomorrow: Culture and broadcasting, immigration and citizenship, foreign and domestic policy, trade and economics, currency and taxation, healthcare and welfare, science and education, policing and defence, to name a few, are areas in which we are very likely to see further (d)evolution, if not revolution, in the upcoming years. Based on an overview of Scottish history, we will study and debate possible paths for Scotland within and outside of the UK. Perhaps a modern, more independent Scottish ‘nation’ could be more than “a society united by a delusion about its ancestry and by a common hatred of its neighbours” (W. R. Inge, 1948). In addition to the course, students are welcome to join an optional excursion to Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh, in February or March if they like. We will be visiting the Scottish Parliament and several other sites of political, historical, and literary relevance. maximum participants: 30 The British in India in the 20th century (Seminar: Lit. & CS) 2 SWS Do 16-18 R 34 4002048 James Fanning The founding of the East India Company in 1601 eventually led to very complex relations between Britain and the Indian subcontinent. From about 1750 up to Indian independence and partition in 1947, it was basically a story of conquest, colonial exploitation and oppression by the British, albeit involving a certain amount of peaceful coexistence based on mutual toleration, respect and influence. After a brief survey of relevant political and cultural developments (supplemented by documentary films), we shall look closely at selected novels and films portraying the British in India in the 20th century, both before and after independence, using concepts of post-colonial studies to analyse the relations depicted. A reader with supplementary material will be made available in October. This seminar may count as either ‘Literature’ or ‘Cultural Studies’. Note that there will also be film sessions on several Thursdays from 18:00 to 20:00 (or sometimes to 21:00), some of which are obligatory as preparation for the next seminar session.

What is love, anyway? We will look at concepts of love in various centuries, beginning with the Renaissance and moving on through Romanticism to end up sometime in the present. Texts to be discussed include various genres: Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, and of course a fair amount of love poetry through the ages. A reader will be made available at the beginning of the semester. maximum participants: 30 Death, Pain and Violence: Aspects of Children’s Literature (Seminar: Lit.) 4002050 2 SWS Fr 12-14 R8 Mascha Hansen Even if today’s tendency is towards shielding children from the harsher aspects of life, children’s literature, old and new, is by no means free from pain, aggression, violence or even cruelty, experienced by the main characters as well as – in a milder form – the child reader. We will analyze these aspects in a variety of books, so please don’t be fooled by the genre: this seminar is going to be hard work! We’ll have a look at concepts of childhood and education before we move on to consider (predominantly twentieth-century) literature written for children and the images of childhood they reveal. Since these books are mostly easy to read, you will have to read quite a few of them: Harry Potter and Northern Lights, Roald Dahl and C. S. Lewis! The Hunger Games are another option… to be negotiated during the first session. maximum participants: 30 34 HAUPTSTUDIUM / M.A. Sprachpraxis Zugangsvoraussetzung für alle sprachpraktischen Kurse im Hauptstudium des Lehramtsstudiums nach alter Studienordnung ist der erfolgreiche Abschluss des Grundstudiums: alle 6 Sprachpraxisscheine + Intro. to Grammar + Intro. to Phonetics & Phonology.

Translation German–English (Übung) 2 SWS Mo 10-12 R 23 or: Fr 12-14 R 23 4002061 James Fanning Besides providing a pragmatically based revision of main points of Grammar, this course aims above all to increase your awareness of the similarities and differences between the two languages and practice techniques for getting around problems of translation. We shall mainly work orally, but a written test will be offered in the final week of the semester. Students are advised to take this course early enough to be able to take the ‘Translation Workshop’ (cf. below) afterwards, before their final exam. It is essential to be present in the first session of the semester. Together with ‘Advanced Composition’ (and – optionally – the extra course ‘Translation Workshop’) this course forms the module ‘Advanced Language Competence’ for MA students where applicable. maximum participants: 30 each group Error Correction (Übung) 2 SWS Mo 14-16 R8 4002016 Heike Gericke This course for prospective teachers aims to improve your ability to spot and correct mistakes (spelling, lexical, grammatical, idiomatic) in your pupils’ written papers. At the same time the course provides a general revision of English grammar for everyone. maximum participants: 25 Translation Workshop (Übung) 2 SWS ab Sem. Di 10-12 R 23 4002062 James Fanning This course is for those students who intend to take their final exam (Staatsexamen or MA) in Translation immediately following this semester. It will build on the normal Translation course (cf. above), which participants must have already taken. Note that as a rule you may take this course only once, and not in the same semester as the normal course. Exceptions are possible only by individual permission, for specific reasons. maximum participants: 30 Exploring English Idioms (Übung) 2 SWS Fr 10-12 R 23 4002031 Christianna Stavroudis For advanced learners of English, the idiom is a kind of final frontier. In this language course, students will look at a variety of sources for idioms (e.g. songs, articles, television shows, ads) and learn how to inject them into their writing, translations, and speech correctly and creatively. maximum participants: 25 35 Advanced Composition: Art of the Essay (Übung) 2 SWS Fr 12-14 R 21 4002065 Christianna Stavroudis This course will equip students with the skills they need to produce elegant and polished academic/professional prose. Students will write approximately one essay per week throughout the semester with topics ranging from argumentation to cover letters. The course will consist of group meetings, in which the class will discuss and review crucial grammar points and analyze good writing together, and individual meetings, in which students will meet with the instructor one-on-one to review assignments and discuss overall progress. maximum participants: 15 Englische Sprachwissenschaft Sociolinguistics: Language Variation and Change (Hauptseminar) 2 SWS Di 08-10 R 23 4002066 Sebastian Knospe In the 1970s, sociolinguistics emerged as a cross-discipline that took up ideas from both linguistics and different social sciences and helped to overcome the by then predominantly structural approach to the scientific study of language. Since then, the field has considerably diversified, but the aim to study language in relation to its speakers and society, which, in turn, is linked to the notions of linguistic variability and variation, has virtually remained the same. In this seminar we will look at the factors responsible for the variation of Present-Day English, focusing primarily on regional and social background, age and gender. What will be particularly stressed is the idea that speakers are able to make choices from the linguistic repertoires at their disposal and that complex mechanisms of identity work are involved here. At the same time, we will trace the interconnections between language variation and change. Participating in guided group projects, students will not only acquire the competencies they need for carrying out systematic sociolinguistic research, but due to the broad perspective the seminar takes will also gain input for possible future projects. maximum participants: 30 Contrastive Linguistics: English and German (Hauptseminar/Kolloquium) 4002067 2 SWS Di 14-16 R 34 Sebastian Knospe Contrastive linguistics is a linguistic field which seeks to explore the structural differences and similarities between different languages. It is theoretical and practical at the same time and as such not only highly relevant to those who learn a second or foreign language and strive for advanced linguistic competences, but also to teachers and translators. This colloquium/senior seminar will offer a structural comparison of Present-Day English and German which are genetically and typologically closely related, but nonetheless different on many levels. In doing so, we will focus on the sound systems and selected aspects of morphology and syntax. The seminar will be rounded off by a comparison of important pragmatic differences between German and English. Student projects will involve the collection and interpretation of data illustrating contrasts in the structure of the two languages. maximum participants: 30 Discursive Linguistics (Vorlesung/Hauptseminar) 2 SWS Di 16-18 R 23 4002068 Amei Koll-Stobbe This lecture series/senior seminar will deal with the constitution of meaning through interactions in specific contexts, i.e. in particular oral and literate communicative settings. 36 We shall study theoretical psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic frameworks and authentic discursive practices: it is a goal of the class to balance abstract academic knowledge and applied analytical skills (selected topic areas and themes: constructionism with a focus on the acquisition and complexity of communicative competence, literacy skills; pragmatic semiotics; discourse analysis with a focus on the discursive construction and mobility of meaning(s); text linguistics with a focus on functional to dysfunctional narrative texts). Students are required to collect and analyse data as independent study projects (format provided in the seminar outline and assignment projects). maximum participants: 30 Tutorium “Discursive Linguistics” (Tutorium/Übung) 2 SWS Mo 16-18 R 23 4002039 Melanie Burmeister As Ms. Burmeister is at present on maternity leave, a replacement has been applied for. Details will be announced as soon as they are known. Sociohistorical Linguistics: Interactions across Englishes (Hauptseminar) 4002069 2 SWS Mi 08-10 R 23 Amei Koll-Stobbe Generally speaking, sociohistorical linguistics is concerned with the study of the social variation of a language in a diachronic perspective, looking at the (changing) forms, roles and functions of these varieties in a given society. This seminar will trace contact-induced and developmental changes of English from Anglo-Saxon times to the modern English period. As to the present situation of English as an international language, we shall discuss the position formulated by Meierkord (2012: 1) who postulates that whenever a language “is used as a lingua franca it often assumes highly heterogeneous forms across its diverse users”. Against this background, we shall trace the omnipresent contact between different Englishes “which may traditionally have been labeled English as a Second Language or English as Foreign Language, but also pidgins and creoles” (ibid.) Students enrolled in this class must be willing to embark on individual or group projects. BACKGROUND READING: Meierkord, Christiane (2012): Interactions Across Englishes: Linguistic Choices in Local and International Contact Situations. Cambridge: CUP. Further recommended literature will be provided at the beginning of the semester. maximum participants: 30 Cognitive Linguistics (Hauptseminar/Kolloquium) 2 SWS Mi 10-12 R 23 4002070 Amei Koll-Stobbe Unlike Noam Chomsky, cognitive linguistics regards language as no isolated capacity with a finite set of rules, but as a faculty embedded into and interacting with general cognitive processes. One of the central assumptions of the discipline is that it is especially the lexicon of a language that mirrors the way speakers categorize and conceptualize the world. Thus, this seminar will make you acquainted with different theories of categorization and findings about the cultural relativity of categories including a discussion of the famous Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Apart from that, we shall study central cognitive linguistic topics such as conceptual metaphor theory, mental spaces and conceptual blending. Finally, we shall have a look at cognitive views of language acquisition which postulate that linguistic knowledge is an emergent product of language use as a cognitive and social activity. maximum participants: 30 37 Literaturwissenschaft und Cultural Studies MadWomen Writers (Seminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Mo 12-14 R 23 4002041 Mascha Hansen Course description: see ‘Grundstudium /B A.’ maximum participants: 30 Coyote Calling: Contemporary Native American Songs, Poems, and Stories (Hauptseminar: Lit.) 4002075 2 SWS Di 10-12 R 34 Anette Brauer This course is particularly designed to provide those of you who intend to teach Native American literature in schools with a wide selection of texts that reflect their traditions, their difficult history within the American national context and the challenges of living in a (post)modern culture. We will analyze among others songs by Buffy Sainte-Marie and Litefoot, poems by Joy Harjo and James Welch, and texts by Leslie Marmon Silko and Sherman Alexie. In addition to getting a sense of what Native American contemporary writing is like, this selection will allow us to evaluate the progress that the original peoples of America made in the 20th century through political and cultural activism. maximum participants: 25 Underground and Counterculture (Seminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Di 10-12 & Do 14-16 R 8 2x pro Woche 02.12.2014 – 29.01.2015. 4002043 Jörg Weber Course description: see ‘Grundstudium /B A.’ maximum participants: 30 Charles Dickens: Great Expectations(Seminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Di 16-18 R 34 4002044 James Fanning Course description: see ‘Grundstudium /B A.’ maximum participants: 30 William Blake (Hauptseminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Mi 10-12 R8 4002078 Sebastian Domsch William Blake (1757 – 1827) was so exceptional a poet, artist and prophet, and so far ahead of his time that most of the few people who knew him in his lifetime thought him actually mad. Yet today, he is regarded as among the most important figures in English literature. Blake famously chose to “rather create [his] own system than be enslaved by another’s” – he developed his own symbolic and mythical universe, imagery, as well as printing technique. An entrance into that world can therefore sometimes feel difficult for first-time readers. This seminar wants to provide a guide to the many-faceted, fascinating and thought-provoking world of Blake’s poetic and visual art, from the ever-popular short pieces of the Songs of Innocence and Experience through the still-radical Marriage of Heaven and Hell all the way to at least the minor prophecies like The Book of Urizen. Text: David V. Erdman (ed.) The Complete Poetry and Prose of William Blake. This edition contains only Blake’s text. Please start to familiarize yourself with Blake’s graphic art here: http://www.blakearchive.org maximum participants: 25 38 Pakistani Fiction in English (Hauptseminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Mi 12-14 R 23 4002079 Sebastian Domsch While India has long been recognized not only as an important part of British cultural history but also as a rich source for Anglophone literature, the contribution of Anglophone Pakistani writers – both living in Pakistan and abroad – is generally of a more recent date and still has to receive the attention it deserves. Pakistan is part of a volatile region that, for all its crucial importance in current world political issues, has been largely marginalized even within postcolonial discourse. In this seminar, we will look at the most important works of contemporary Pakistani authors writing in English (short stories, novels, plays, movies), dealing with the clash between modernity and tradition, religion and politics, youthful rebellion and Islamic terrorism, wars, drugs, and immigration. TEXTS: To be read before the beginning of the semester: Hanif Kureishi: The Black Album (2009) this is the play, not the novel!; Mohammed Hanif: A Case of Exploding Mangoes (2008) Further obligatory texts: Mohsin Hamid: The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007); Nadeem Aslam: The Blind Man’s Garden (2013), Mohsin Hamid: How to get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia (2013). MOVIES: Sammy and Rosie Get Laid (1988); My Son the Fanatic (1998); The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2012). Film screenings will be held Tuesdays at 8pm in Room 23 maximum participants: 25 Graphic Novels (Hauptseminar: Lit.) 2 SWS Do 08-10 R 23 4002076 Sebastian Domsch This seminar will provide both an introduction into the specifics of graphic narratives as well as the methods of analyzing them, and in-depth analyses of selected graphic narratives. The emphasis will be on works that have helped to define and expand the form. We will look at narratological aspects as well as image-text relations – and of course many many pictures, not a few of them quite colorful. Each participant will be expected to present one additional graphic novel of their own choice during the semester. In order to remain in the course, participants are required to own physical or electronic copies of the following graphic novels (any edition is fine): Art Spiegelman: Maus (1991); Alan Moore: Watchmen (1986-1987); Neil Gaiman: Signal to Noise (1992); Chris Ware: Jimmy Corrigan (2000); Scott McCloud: Understanding Comics. Further material will be provided in an electronic reader. maximum participants: 25 39 Liberty…Pleasure and Pain(e): America’s Independence in History and Literature (Hauptseminar: Lit. & CS) 4002077 2 SWS Do 14-16 R 34 Anette Brauer Even if you know all about the theoretical reasons for (some) Americans’ Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine’s most famous propaganda pamphlet Common Sense may still be a “pain(e)fully” difficult text to read and understand. So why has it been widely credited for spurring Americans on in what became the War of Independence? May he have built on other, earlier texts that dealt with the break from Great Britain and were they, perhaps, more fun to read? (The answer is “Yes”, naturally, but see for yourselves when we explore the intelligently written and extremely witty texts by Ben Franklin.) Other American writers and thinkers succeeded Paine, once independence was achieved militarily, to argue the meaning and the extent of independence. As the Founding Fathers were putting their historic thoughts on government and civil rights into an American constitution, writers like Crèvecoeur developed their own ideas about the American nation and its spirit of independence. A reader will be provided by the beginning of the semester. maximum participants: 25 Scotland and the UK (Seminar: CS) 2 SWS Do 14-16 & Di 10-12 R 8 2x pro Woche 14.10.2014 – 27.11.2014 4002047 Jörg Weber Course description: see ‘Grundstudium /B A.’ maximum participants: 30 The British in India in the 20th century (Seminar: Lit. & CS) 2 SWS Do 16-18 R 34 4002048 James Fanning Course description: see ‘Grundstudium /B A.’ maximum participants: 30 Death, Pain and Violence: Aspects of Children’s Literature (Seminar: Lit.) 4002050 2 SWS Fr 12-14 R8 Mascha Hansen Course description: see ‘Grundstudium /B A.’ maximum participants: 30 FACHDIDAKTIK Für Fachdidaktik ist eine weitere Lehrkraft beantragt worden.

There are lots of ways to assess your pupils: verbal, non verbal, written or oral tests, with or without a mark – but when and how to choose which form? In this course you will learn about different kinds of teacher, peer and self-assessment. Theoretical aspects will be combined with 40 practical exercises, for example how to design simple classroom tests or how to organize peer feedback. Parts of a portfolio for the teacher and teacher-training students will be included. maximum participants: 30 per group Task-based Language Learning in ELT (Hauptseminar) 2 SWS Di 14-16 R 23 4002082 Margitta Kuty Different tasks are used to understand language learning and to motivate learners to do meaningful things with language. A task is generally described as an activity which involves the meaningful use of language (in contrast to exercises). In this seminar we will find out what a complex task is, what its learning potential in the English classroom might be and how we can relate real-life tasks to classroom learning. Using the TSLL framework (task cycle), we will discover not only tasks’ levels of complexity but the teacher’s and the learner’s roles. Most importantly, discussions about concrete suggested tasks and their implications in the classroom will be an essential part of this seminar. maximum participants: 30 Getting started: the basics of teaching English (Proseminar: 2 Gruppen) 1 SWS Do 14-15 R 23 or: Do 15-16 R 23 4002052 Margitta Kuty This practical skills-oriented course will equip you with the basics needed to work effectively in an English language classroom. The course will provide a rich variety of practical skills related to the theoretical issues of the lecture. You will be guided towards good practice in basic theory of English language teaching. There will be opportunities to observe and analyse parts of a lesson (videos), plan and structure a lesson and prepare and write a lesson plan.
