- Inhalt:
- This exercise course investigates linguistic and literary evidence from a rather distant though very exciting past. Therefore, its focus is in the truest sense of the word ‘medieval’. Antedating the popular works of W. Shakespeare or G. Chaucer by several centuries, this enthralling and unique episode of 'British' history – and the English language in particular – is commonly referred to by modern scholars as the ‘Old English’ or ‘Anglo-Saxon’ period. Among several philologists of the 20th and 21st centuries, even the famous creator of Middle Earth, J.R.R. Tolkien, did not hesitate when determinedly calling himself a ‘medievalist’ or an ‘Anglo-Saxonist’. It is to the vernacular language and literature of the Anglo-Saxons, Germanic inhabitants of the early medieval British kingdoms, that this course will turn. It is designed to provide a graspable introduction into the grammatical system of Old English which, compared to its modern “successor”, is quite complex. Assignments are intended primarily though not exclusively for students of English linguistics. Together we will read, translate and explore select literary sources and shorter texts which are relevant for both classes. Although there are no linguistic requirements for this course in the first place, students might well profit from a basic mastery of Latin or French. Classes are taught in English. Yet, beginners in the history of the English language are more than welcome when exploring the intriguing and charismatic language of King Ælfred the Great and his contemporaries.

- Inhalt:
- Set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, the love story of Troilus and Criseyde was to become one of the favourite topics in medieval literature. The story was adapted in French and Italian before it was tackled by Geoffrey Chaucer in the mid 1380s. This literary and linguistic masterpiece is the focus of attention in this seminar. We will discuss both the linguistic and the literary makeup of the text on the basis of close reading. Starting from there, we will also investigate central topics of medieval literature such as providence, fate and free will; human (courtly) love and divine love; friendship; and the role of women.
The Übung, which accompanies the Hauptseminar (Monday, 14:00-15:30) is designed to discuss project work and other assignments individually and/or in small groups. Individual arrangements will be made – also, if necessary, concerning the time of the Übung. Therefore clashes with other courses scheduled for the same time slot as the Übung can be avoided.
Before our first meeting, students are asked to familiarize themselves with the story as told by Chaucer in a modern-language translation, either in Modern English (Coghill 1971; Windeatt 1998) or Modern German (Obst / Schleburg 2000). Warning: Translations which are available on the internet are not reliable! The critical edition which we will use in class is The Riverside Chaucer, ed. by Benson et al. (1987); the original text and other material will be made availabe on Virtueller Campus.
Last but not least: Notice that reading Middle English and translating it into German can be practiced in my Übung "Mittelenglische Lektüre zu Chaucers Troilus and Criseyde".

- Inhalt:
- Students intending to attend this course should meet the following three requirements: They should be open to (linguistic) theories, interested in the history and development of the English language – knowledge of Old or Middle English is, however, no precondition – and they must be willing to discuss critically an attitude towards language such as Tony's. Tony belongs to those of Jean Aitchison's friends "who think that language change should be stopped" (quoted from the dedication to the first edition of her Language Change: Progress or Decay?). Taking the history of the English language as our source for the data, we shall look at different kinds of language change as both a historical phenomenon and a theoretical challenge. Thus, types and categories of change will be addressed as well as theories on the questions of how linguistic changes begin, how they spread and how they might be explained – such as for instance Rudi Keller's theory of the 'invisible hand'.
The Übung, which accompanies the Hauptseminar (Tuesday, 14:00-15:30) is designed to discuss project work and other assignments individually and/or in small groups. Individual arrangements will be made – also, if necessary, concerning the time of the Übung. Therefore clashes with other courses scheduled for the same time slot as the Übung can be avoided.

- Inhalt:
- Chaucers Romanze von Troilus und Criseyde, dem berühmten Liebespaar des Mittelalters, ist sowohl sprachlich als auch literarisch ein Meisterwerk. Um diesen genialen Umgang mit der englischen Sprache im 14. Jahrhundert würdigen zu können, werden wir ausgewählte Textpassagen genau besprechen und ihre Übersetzung ins Deutsche üben.
Diese Übung richtet sich an alle Studierende, die einmal eine ältere Sprachstufe genauer kennenlernen wollen, oder die ihre Kenntnisse des Mittelenglischen anwenden möchten, oder auch an die, die bereit sind, sich Kenntnisse des Mittelenglischen durch angeleitete Textlektüre zu erarbeiten. Sie ist natürlich auch als Begleitübung zum Hauptseminar Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde empfohlen. Kenntnisse der englischen Sprachgeschichte sind von Vorteil, sie sind jedoch keine Voraussetzung für den Besuch dieser Veranstaltung.
Zu Beginn des Kurses sollte der Text in Übersetzung bekannt sein. Gute Übersetzungen ins Neuenglische sind Coghill (1971) und Windeatt (1998), eine schöne Übersetzung ins Deutsche bieten Obst / Schleburg (2000). Achtung: Bei Übersetzungen, die frei im Internet zugänglich sind, ist Vorsicht geboten! Die kritische Ausgabe, die wir im Kurs benutzen werden, ist der Riverside Chaucer, hrsg. von Benson et al. (1987); Materialen daraus werden über den Virtuellen Campus zur Verfügung gestellt.
Diese Übung ist Teil eines regelmäßigen Angebots zum Alt- und Mittelenglischen am Lehrstuhl für Englische Sprachwissenschaft einschl. Sprachgeschichte. Dieses Angebot ermöglicht ein vertieftes Studium der vergangenen Sprachstufen und damit der Literatur des mittelalterlichen Englands im Original. Die Kurse bilden u. a. die Grundlage für die Bearbeitung eines historischen sprachwissenschaftlichen Themas in mündlichen oder schriftlichen Abschlussprüfungen.

Course description
The course will focus on both theoretical as well as practical aspects of Applied Linguistics and will hopefully give you an overview of the field. The seminar format requires that everyone contributes actively to class discussions where diversity of opinion is expected and encouraged. It is absolutely necessary that you have finished reading the required chapters in the course book before our first session (more under "Course Requirements"). Since we cannot cover all disciplines involved in Applied Linguistics, we will choose which topics we will focus on during the first class session(s).
What is "Applied Linguistics"?
"Applied Linguistics is using what we know about (a) language, (b) how it is learned and (c) how it is used, in order to achieve some purpose or solve some problems in the real world." (Schmitt, N. (2002). An introduction to applied linguistics. London: Arnold.)
Applied Linguistics is multi-disciplinary in nature, reflecting the complex nature of languages. It consists of disciplines like Discourse Analysis, Pragmatics, Corpus Linguistics, Second Language Acquisition (SLA), Psycholinguistics and Sociolinguistics and also deals with differences in learners, language assessment, and the four basic skill (listening, reading, writing, speaking) and how to teach them best.
Requirements for obtaining ECTS-credits/a Schein:
The diversity of the requirements will provide you with various opportunities to contribute to a good grade and will give each student the chance to make the best of their abilities. Each requirement must be passed in order to receive a "Schein".
Course Requirements
Introductory Test 5%
Attendance and Participation 20%
Reflective Writings 10%
Group Discussion 25%
Final Paper or Take-Home Exam 40%
Introductory Test (5 %)
In order to guarantee that the chapters 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the course book (Schmitt, N. (2002). An introduction to applied linguistics. London: Arnold.) are read, there will be a test during the first class meeting (October 15) to check your knowledge on the topic areas and how well you prepared the material. The introductory test must be passed in order to continue with the seminar. This is necessary to make sure that you to get the most out of this course. If you are not well prepared at the beginning of the seminar and before each of the class meetings, this course will not be effective for you. If you have an overview of the topics you read about, this test will be easily manageable for you.
Attendance and Participation / Quizzes (20%)
Please come to class ready to actively discuss the topics in the readings because this is of utmost importance to make this course a success for you and your fellow students. In preparation for each class, please prepare 4-5 questions or comments (per topic area) from the readings to bring to class and also turn in a copy to your instructor. Be as eager to listen to and react to your classmates’ questions and comments as you are to share your own. It is taken for granted that you will be present at all class meetings and turn in work on time, therefore there is no need for a strict attendance or late-work policy. If you are unable to be in class or complete an assignment on time, please discuss that with me prior to missing class or turning in a late assignment. Unexcused absences will negatively affect the final course grade.
I will choose to give quizzes when I realize that students are not prepared for class. A quiz is a short, in this case unannounced, written test. The quizzes would cover class readings and you would have to identify and explain key terms, concepts, questions and issues in the field of Applied Linguistics. However, I do not believe that this will be necessary. Giving quizzes would only be my "last" option.
Reflective Writings (10%)
You will have to hand in two reflective writings. These writings should demonstrate how your beliefs on certain aspects of Applied Linguistics evolve during this course. Please make sure that you do the first reflective writing before you start reading any literature on Applied Linguistics.
Reflective Writing #1 (due on October 15)
Explore your thoughts about certain aspects of Applied Linguistics. First, write a 2-3 page (~ 800-1200 words) typed (double-spaced) learner autobiography with details about your language learning experiences.
Then answer the following questions in a 2-3 page (~ 800-1200 words) typed (double-spaced) paper:
1. How do you think the grammar of a language is learned and taught best?
2. How about vocabulary? What would you consider the best way to learn and teach vocabulary?
3. How do you think that people learn languages? Are there differences in learners? Does everyone learn in the same way?
4. What about the four basic skill (reading, listening, writing, speaking)? How important are they in using a language and to what degrees? What would you consider the best way to teach those skills?
Please answer those four questions in a coherent essay.
Reflective Writing #2 (due on February 16)
At the end of the semester, re-read and reflect on your learner autobiography from the beginning of the semester and what you have learned during the semester. Then reflect on the above four questions again. In your second reflective writing, rearticulate your beliefs and address both the changes and consistencies in your beliefs (i.e. examine and provide an explanation for how you think your beliefs evolved and/or remained the same). Again, please try to answer the questions in a cohesive text (~ 1000-1400 words).
Group Discussion (25%)
There will not be a typical presentation in the form of a Referat in this course. However, each student will lead a group discussion about one of the topic areas of the course. You can also team up with one fellow classmate and do the group discussion together. Those students doing the presentation will be the experts for that specific area. The background, for the students leading the discussion, will be the readings in the course book (Schmitt 2002) and additional literature (books, scholarly articles, etc.). The focus on the part of the group discussion leaders should be on facilitating a healthy, critical discussion among and between group members. In order to make the group discussion session easier to follow, a handout would be useful. Possible journals for scholarly articles include: CALICO Journal, The English Language Teaching Journal (ELT), Foreign Language Annals (FLAnnals), The Modern Language Journal, TESOL Quarterly, Die Unterrichtspraxis, etc. Details of how to carry out a group discussion will be discussed during our first meeting.
Take-Home Exam or Final Paper (40%)
You have the option between a take-home exam or a final paper as the final assignment. In the take-home exam you will have to answer three essay questions thoroughly. In each essay (each essay should be about 5-6 pages typed, i.e. ~ 1200-1500 words), I expect you to clearly define terms, use theory (cite theories, research studies, etc.), and relate theory to practice. You must include a bibliography. Be sure to use all class materials (book(s), articles, info from group discussions, if applicable, and any additional materials that may apply).
In the final paper (~ 3500-4500 words) I want you to discuss one topic area of your choice in greater detail. This will involve a thorough literature research and summary of the chosen topic.
You will have to decide towards the end of the semester what you are going to choose.

Proseminar II: Experimental Phonetics -
- Dozent/in:
- Ole Schützler
- Angaben:
- Proseminar, 2 SWS, ECTS: 6
- Termine:
- Mo, 10:00 - 12:00, MS12/009
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- Participants should register by email until the 8th of October. Please state whether you have a laptop computer you would be willing to bring to class -- this would be extremely useful, but it is NOT a requirement for participation.
The number of participants is limited to 20.
Requirements: short presentation of a relevant topic from the literature in class AND written and oral presentation of a practical / empirical mini-project (see below).
- Inhalt:
- The seminar is first of all concerned with basic aspects of general acoustics, or rather, acoustic phonetics, i.e. sound production, transmission and perception. The linguistic relevance of the most important acoustic properties of speech will then be investigated, especially pitch, duration and spectrum shape. This will serve to analyse acoustic differences between vowels and consonants, but also between subsets such as plosives and fricatives, voiceless and voiced consonants, open and close vowels. Participants will be asked to give a short theoretical presentation, but also to analyse a small dataset of spoken language and present their techniques and findings in class as well as in a written report. The seminar will utilise sound recording devices, the sound editing software /audacity/ and software designed for acoustic speech analysis, especially /Praat/. No prior experience with these applications is needed, all required knowledge will be introduced and practised in class.

Proseminar II: Language Contact -
- Dozent/in:
- Michaela Hilbert
- Angaben:
- Proseminar, 2 SWS, ECTS: 6
- Termine:
- Do, 10:00 - 12:00, U2/130
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- Participants should register by email (michaela.hilbert(at)uni-bamberg.de) until the 8th of October, including name, course of studies, semester and contact email address.
The number of participants is limited to 24.
Requirements: weekly reading assignments, active participation in class, short oral presentation, final term paper.
- Inhalt:
- Whenever and wherever people meet, their respective languages meet as well. And just as the outcome of encounters between people are – to say the least – diverse, the effects of language contact can equally cover a broad range, from the borrowing of individual words to heavy influence on one or both languages; from hardly any result at all to the “death” of one language or the creation of an entirely new, sometimes seemingly “mixed”, language.
This seminar will investigate causes, types and effects of language contact and will of course use English as the prime example. We will take a look at the different ways in which English developed on the British Isles in contact with Celtic, Latin, Scandinavian and French. We will turn to what happened when the English language was exported to the rest of the world, giving rise to various varieties, such as Indian English or Nigerian English, and to pidgins and creoles, such as Tok Pisin or Jamaican Creole. We will expand our view to include topics like the influence of English on Modern German, and language contact in multilingual urban settings like London or New York.
All this will of course be based on, accompanied by, and serving as a testing ground for existing theoretical notions relevant to the topic, involving theories of language contact and language change, code-switching, diglossia, bi- and multilingualism, as well as social and political aspects.

Course description
In this course we will examine the process of learning and using a second language. Research in second language acquisition (SLA) is multi-disciplinary in nature, reflecting the complex nature of language learning and use. Linguistic, psychological and social processes that underlie language learning and use will be introduced and current research findings will be examined. The content of the course will focus on both theoretical as well as practical aspects of SLA. The seminar format requires that everyone contributes actively to class discussions where diversity of opinion is expected and encouraged. It is absolutely necessary that you have finished reading the required materials before the course starts (more under "Course Requirements").
What is "Second Language Acquisition" (SLA)?
"The systematic study of how people acquire a second language is a fairly recent phenomenon, belonging to the second half of the twentieth century. Its emergence at this time is perhaps no accident. This has been a time of the ‘global village’ and the ‘World Wide Web’, when communication between people has expanded way beyond their local speech communities. As never before, people have had to learn a second language, not just as a pleasing pastime, but often as a means of obtaining an education or securing employment. At such a time, there is an obvious need to discover more about how second languages are learned. At first sight, the meaning of the term ‘SLA’ seems transparent but, in fact, it requires careful explanation. For one thing, in this context ‘second’ can refer to any language that is learned subsequent to the mother tongue. Thus, it can refer to the learning of a third or fourth language. Also, ‘second’ is not intended to contrast with ‘foreign’. Whether you are learning a language naturally as a result of living in a country where it is spoken, or learning it in a classroom through instruction, it is customary to speak generically of ‘second’ language acquisition. ‘L2 acquisition’, then, can be defined as the way in which people learn a language other than their mother tongue, inside or outside of a classroom, and ‘Second Language Acquisition’ as the study of this." (Ellis, R. (1997). Second language acquisition. Oxford introductions to language study. Oxford: Oxford University Press.).
Requirements for obtaining ECTS-credits/a Schein:
The diversity of the requirements will provide you with various opportunities to contribute to a good grade and will give each student the chance to make the best of their abilities. Each requirement must be passed in order to receive a "Schein".
Course Requirements
Introductory Test 5%
Attendance and Participation 20%
Reflective Writings 10%
Group Discussion 25%
Final Paper or Take-Home Exam 40%
Introductory Test (5 %)
In order to guarantee that the book (Saville-Troike, M. (2006). Introducing second language acquisition. Cambridge introductions to language and linguistics. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press.) used in the course is read, there will be a test during the first class meeting (October 17) to check your knowledge on the topic areas and how well you prepared the material. The introductory test must be passed in order to continue with the seminar. This is necessary to make sure that you to get the most out of this course. If you are not well prepared at the beginning of the seminar and before each of the class meetings, this course will not be effective for you. If you have an overview of the topics that are discussed in the book and if you know the basics about those topics, this test will be easily manageable for you.
Attendance and Participation / Quizzes (20%)
Please come to class ready to actively discuss the topics in the readings because this is of utmost importance to make this course a success for you and your fellow students. In preparation for each class, please prepare 4-5 questions or comments (per topic area) from the readings to bring to class and also turn in a copy to your instructor. Be as eager to listen to and react to your classmates’ questions and comments as you are to share your own. It is taken for granted that you will be present at all class meetings and turn in work on time, therefore there is no need for a strict attendance or late-work policy. If you are unable to be in class or complete an assignment on time, please discuss that with me prior to missing class or turning in a late assignment. Unexcused absences will negatively affect the final course grade.
I will choose to give quizzes when I realize that students are not prepared for class. A quiz is a short, in this case, written test. The quizzes would cover class readings and you would have to identify and explain key terms, concepts, questions and issues in the field of SLA. However, I do not believe that this will be necessary. Giving quizzes will only be my "last" option.
Reflective Writings (10%)
You will have to hand in two reflective writings. These writings should demonstrate how your beliefs on SLA evolve during this course. Please make sure that you do the first reflective writing before you start reading any literature on SLA.
Reflective Writing #1 (due on October 17)
Explore your thoughts about SLA. First, write a 2-3 page (~ 800-1200 words) typed (double-spaced) learner autobiography with details about your language learning experiences.
Then answer the following questions in a 2-3 page (~ 800-1200 words) typed (double-spaced) paper:
1. What does it mean to be an effective language teacher?
2. How do you think second languages are learned?
3. What do you think are the most important factors in learning another language?
4. How do you think second languages should be taught?
5. What should be the role of the foreign language teacher?
6. What kinds of language learning experiences should the teacher provide?
7. What are the advantages/disadvantages of being a native or nonnative speaker of the language one is teaching?
Please answer those seven questions in a coherent essay.
Reflective Writing #2 (due on February 16)
At the end of the semester, re-read and reflect on your learner autobiography from the beginning of the semester and what you have learned about language learning during the semester. Then reflect on the above seven questions again. In your second reflective writing, rearticulate your beliefs about second language learning and teaching and address both the changes and consistencies in your beliefs (i.e. examine and provide an explanation for how you think your beliefs evolved and/or remained the same). Again, please try to answer the questions in a cohesive text (~ 1000-1400 words).
Group Discussion (25%)
There will not be a typical presentation in the form of a Referat in this course. However, each student will lead a group discussion about one of the topic areas of the course. You can also team up with one fellow classmate and do the group discussion together. Those students doing the presentation will be the experts for that specific area. The background, for the students leading the discussion, will be the readings in the course book (Saville-Troike 2006) and additional literature (books, scholarly articles, etc.). The focus on the part of the group discussion leaders should be on facilitating a healthy, critical discussion among and between group members. In order to make the group discussion session easier to follow, a handout would be useful. Possible journals for scholarly articles include: CALICO Journal, The English Language Teaching Journal (ELT), Foreign Language Annals (FLAnnals), The Modern Language Journal, TESOL Quarterly, Die Unterrichtspraxis, etc. Details of how to carry out a group discussion will be discussed during our first meeting.
Take-Home Exam or Final Paper (40%)
You have the option between a take-home exam or a final paper. In the take-home exam you will have to answer three essay questions thoroughly. In each essay (each essay should be about 5-6 pages typed, i.e. ~ 1200-1500 words), I expect you to clearly define terms, use theory (cite theories, research studies, etc.), and relate theory to practice. You must include a bibliography. Be sure to use all class materials (book(s), articles, info from group discussions, if applicable, and any additional materials that may apply).
In the final paper (~ 3500-4500 words) I want you to discuss one topic area of your choice in greater detail. This will involve a thorough literature research and summary of the chosen topic.
You will have to decide towards the end of the semester what you are going to choose.

You should register for this seminar by email by 8th October. Please include your name, course of studies, semester and contact details. The number of participants is limited to 20.
Requirements for obtaining ECTS-credits/ a Schein:
active participation in class, oral presentations, term paper including empirical study/field work
- Inhalt:
- In what respect does language usage depend on social factors such as age, gender and social class? Does a person speak differently in different situations? How can a sociolinguistic approach help us to find out more about language variation and change?
These are some of the questions we will be dealing with in the seminar “sociolinguistics”. The first section of the seminar will be concerned with basic concepts such as dialect and accent, register and style, variation and change, standardisation processes etc. We will discuss the influence of non-linguistic factors such as age, gender, social class and ethnicity on language usage. In this context, we will also take a look at important sociolinguistic studies.
You can – and are required to – design and conduct your own study. The studies can also be conducted in groups. Term papers have to be handed in by Friday, 27th February.
