Crisis or failure of hegemonic masculinities in David Lodge’s Campus Trilogy
(2013-06-20)
This bachelor’s thesis examines the crisis of hegemonic masculinities in David Lodge’s Campus Trilogy. In the course of the thesis, I demonstrate that the male characters in the novels aspire to hegemonic ideals of masculinity, but that ultimately most of them fail in their aspirations. However, I also show that this does not lead to the abandonment of this pursuit, but merely to its reformulation and a continued attempt of male characters to aspire to this reformulated ideal. In order to achieve this, I conduct a ...

Culture and good language learners
(Cambridge University Press, 2008)
This chapter will discuss the role of culture and language learning in the classroom. Variations in cultural, ethnic, and national characteristics within and among individual students affect classroom dynamics and therefore influence the decisions which teachers need to make in order to provide an optimal learning environment for all learners. Culture is not an easy concept to define, and is especially difficult to disentangle from concepts such as ethnicity and nationality. Individuals define and interpret these ...

Self-regulated Cooperative EFL Reading Tasks: Students’ Strategy Use and Teachers’ Support
(2012-04-11)
The ADEQUA research project has gained empirical evidence on how the situationally adequate use of learning strategies can be facilitated during cooperative reading tasks in the EFL classroom. Two video studies were conducted with 9th grade EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners in German schools: The first (laboratory) study investigated the students’ use of strategies while working in dyads and without teacher support on a given task. The second study, a field study, focused on teachers’ actions to support ...

Handlungsorientierter Unterricht (Holistic and action-oriented learning and teaching)
(Routledge, 2013)
Holistic, action-oriented learning and teaching (in German: handlungsorientierter Unterricht) are principles in schooling that take account of learners' undivided physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual preconditions in the learning process as well as their inherent human drive to be actively and whole-heartedly involved in relevant actions (Finkbeiner, 2002). The teaching approach based on this presupposition considers that learners make active use of both hemispheres of the brain (Löffler, 2002), thus ...

Cooperative Learning and Teaching in Germany
(2003-10)
This survey article focuses on the status quo as well as the historical development of cooperative and collaborative learning in Germany. Due to the growing social, cultural and ethnic diversity in Germany, cooperation and communication are overall goals in all official curricula and are considered as key qualifications (Finkbeiner, 1995) for a successful school and job career in a highly diverse society. For instance, the recent PISA study (Program for International Students’ Assessment) put major emphasis on the ...

One and All in CALL? Learner–Moderator–Researcher
(2001)
In this article I will present the results of a research project on CALL and on cooperative learning in CALL, conducted as a democratic joint venture between teachers and students in the university setting over the last couple of years. The project consists of several sub-studies, all of which deal with the three-folded perspective I consider as most crucial for 21st century students: learning, moderating, doing research. This is particularly true for those students who have decided and who are willing to commit ...

Formen der Öffnung im Fremdsprachenunterricht: ein Gedankenaustausch
(1998)
Formen der . Öffnung" - was ist damit eigentlich gemeint? Woher kommt das Interesse an diesem Thema? Was spricht für Öffnung, was spricht dagegen? Welche Vorteile darf man von Öffnung erwarten, welche neuen Probleme gilt es zu lösen? Und welche Konsequenzen ergeben sich, wenn man erst einmal mit Öffnung beginnt? Für uns besteht eine Konsequenz darin, nicht nur das Konzept von Unterricht, sondern auch das Sprechen darüber zu verändern. Und so haben wir zwei engagierten Kolleginnen, Frau Ferrante und Frau Rosendahl-Schnelle, ...
