Description:
The Übung Methods and Theories in Linguistics accompanies the linguistic seminar in the Ergänzungsmodul Sprachwissenschaft. It complements the theoretical and methodological insights and skills in this area. The Übung will introduce and put to work techniques and approaches characteristic of English Linguistics and thereby help students to acquire competence in using specific sources of information and technologies as well as in collecting, analysing and visualizing their own empirical data. The topics treated will include aspects of academic writing (handling secondary literature, referencing), the analysis of linguistic corpora and other databases, the use of online dictionaries, the construction of questionnaires, the analysis of audio-recorded data, the interpretation of experiments, etc.

Inhalt:

This interdisciplinary seminar is aimed at students who are planning to embark on a career in (or related to) English Language Teaching. It will combine linguistic insights into the lexicon with pedagogical considerations for vocabulary teaching. For one, psycholinguistic research into the so-called mental lexicon has shed light on processes of vocabulary acquisition, storage, word recognition and lexical retrieval. For another, lexicological investigation has drawn attention to the complex nature of the English lexicon with regard to basic and advanced vocabulary, regional, stylistic and etymological layering, as well as levels below and above the word (word formation, word families, collocations, phraseological units).
After familiarizing students with the major findings, methods and resources of these areas of research, we will turn to implications for vocabulary teaching, which is one of the tasks that English teachers are confronted with almost daily at all levels. Aspects to be addressed will include the choice and sequencing of vocabulary items, an overview of the phases of systematic vocabulary work, strategies to ensure the desired success, and factors influencing retention rates (including individual, methodological and linguistic factors). These will also be demonstrated and discussed using examples from teaching practice.

Students can obtain credit points either in English Linguistics or in English Language Pedagogy (Fachdidaktik). According to their choice, they register for this seminar in the respective area in FlexNow.
