Sprachpraxis Module A1 (identical for GHR, GYM and BK) consists of three two-hour courses, one “Eng-lish Language 1”, one “English Language 2a”, and one “English Language 2b” course. The order in which the level 2 courses are taken is not fixed, and a 2b course can be taken before a 2a course. But English Language 1 must be taken before any English Language 2 course.

Note for Magister and Sek. I/Sek. II: These courses replace the CLC Elementary. Any combi-nation of two courses with two different titles, taught by different members of staff is equiva-lent to a CLC Elementary.

All students who have not yet successfully completed a CLC or English Language 1 course must take the Placement Test. For details watch the noticeboard on O.09 or see the English Department’s homepage.

A.03.115 War and Contemporary American CultureMo 12-14 S-10.15 Branca

P, Sek I/II: DGHR, Gym/BK: A 1

The goal of this course will be to analyze the extent to which not simply war, but depictions of war in film and literature have played a key role in constructing American identity since the Second World War. We will pay particular attention to how war films, in a variety of styles from ‘heroic’ to hyperrealism, have not only given vent to sentiments concerning war at any given time, but have also actively forged and shaped social discourses about war. (The Vietnam War films of the 70s and 80s that instigated widespread discussion of that conflict and the later spate of Second World War films that marked a growing reacceptance of American military intervention overseas are two prominent examples.) In addi-tion, we will be juxtaposing selected texts on war, both fictional and autobio-graphical, against film to ascertain in how far they accede to or resist the latter’s often problematic representations of war. Films viewed in class will include (either in full or as excerpts) Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan and The Sands of Iwo Jima among others and the texts we will read will include Joseph Heller’s Catch 22, Jayne Anne Phillips’ Machine Dreams and Anthony Swof-ford’s Jarhead.

This course can be taken for 2 LP for LPO 2003 (Module A1) and BA students (Module AII) and a Teilnahmeschein for LPO 1994/Magister (Teilbereich D), in which case the course requirement is a short reaction paper or one in-class presentation.

A.03.116 Gender and Genre in American CinemaMo 14-16 O-08.37 Dorr

P, Sek I/II: DGHR, Gym/BK: A 1



Description: In both popular and academic discourse on film, the idea of genre has been of tremendous importance. Likewise, some of the most influential ideas in modern film theory (and popular film criticism) have sprung from feminist film theorists and their interpretation of gender in cinema. This course will ex-amine gender and genre as defining concepts in American film, paying special attention to the way in which developments regarding genre and gender in Amer-ican cinema mirror – or contest - developments in American culture. How has American cinema’s depiction of gender changed throughout time (and, for that matter, across genres)? Why have particular genres enjoyed popularity at certain points in time – and to what degree do these genres’ respective depictions of gender account for this popularity?

* Please note that this class consists of two time blocks (14:00-16:00 and 16:00-18:00). The regular course will take place during the first time block, while the second time block will be used to screen the films under discussion.

Course objectives: The aim of this course is to familiarize students with the fun-damental principles of the core areas of modern linguistics, which are phono-logy, morphology, syntax, and semantics. We will also explore some cross-dis-ciplinary areas (e.g. sociolinguistics). In applying linguistic terminology and methods, we will analyze not only English data, but also data from a variety of other languages.Course methodology: Basic concepts will be presented and discussed in class. There will also be opportunities to apply linguistic terminology and methods in exercises and written homework assignments (work in small groups). Individual performance is monitored in a midterm exam (ca. 45 mins.) and in a final exam (ca. 90 mins.). Regular attendance is mandatory, as is the on-time completion of reading assignments, homework, and exams. Relevance for the curriculum: This course is a prerequisite for all further courses in linguistics.

Assessment will be based on a presentation and a term pa-per, and, depending on the topic chosen, students in the study programmes GHR/Gym/BK and BA can earn a “Schein” either for the sub-area 2a/IIIa or for 2b/IIIb.

The following books contain recommended basic reading for the course:

Harris, J. 1994 English Sound Structure. Oxford, BlackwellKatamba, F. 1989 Introduction to Phonology. London: LongmanSpencer, A. 1996 Phonology. Oxford, Blackwell

Registration: Personal registration for this course is essential. Students who wish to attend the course can register from January 25 th in room O-09.19, from 9 a.m. on. Any student who cannot register personally should contact me by e-mail ([email protected]) after January 25th.

A.03.207 Linguistic Categorization Mo 16-18 O-09.36 Rauh

Sek I/II: A 1, 2GHR, Gym/BK: B 2a, B 2cBA: B IIIa, B IIIc

Content and Aims: Categories play an important role in the description of lan-guage. The most widely used and therefore the apparently most important lin-guistic categories are the parts of speech or word classes such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc. The literature, including reference grammars and ped-agogical grammars, does not provide a clear picture of what these are, how many there are, and on what basis they are identified. It is the aim of this seminar to provide students with insights on categorization in general and on categorizing linguistic items, especially words, in particular. Students will learn to recognize for which contexts categories of words are considered necessary, including as-pects of syntax as well as of word-formation.

After a brief survey of the use and characterization of parts of speech in refer-ence grammars and dictionaries, the seminar will first concentrate on categoriza-tion in general and discuss different bases for the formation of categories. We will then turn to the traditional parts of speech, have a look at their original iden-tification and then turn to various approaches to their description and to the de-scription of other word classes. The approaches to be considered will include morpho-syntactic, syntactic and semantic ones. An essential part of the discus-sion will be concerned with the question of what purpose the categories identi-fied serve, what they are good for and whether they are needed at all.

Prerequisites: Successful completion of the Grundstudium ("Zwischenprü-fung").

Preparatory Reading: A good introduction to the problem of categorization in linguistics is J.R. Taylor (21995): Linguistic Categorization. Prototypes in Lin-guistic Theory. Oxford: Clarendon.

Note: To ensure adequate planning of the seminar, it is necessary to register per-sonally until March 8th during my office hour.

A.03.208 Selected Models of Grammatical TheoriesMi 10-11.30 O-09.36 Rauh

P, Sek I/II: A 1, 2GHR, Gym/BK: B 2a, B 2cBA: B IIIa, B IIIc

Content and Aims: One fact about linguistics is that various approaches to lan-guage – manifested in different models of grammatical theories – have to be dis-tinguished. Some of these approaches are consecutive in that later ones have been developed out of earlier versions, others provide alternatives. Each of the models is concerned with a description and, moreover, with an explanation of linguistic facts. Since alternative models take different perspectives on language, they focus on and consider important different aspects of language. It is the aim of this lecture not only to familiarize students with selected models of grammat-ical theories but also to give them a chance to learn more about relevant aspects of language by looking at it from the point of view of different theoretical stand-points.

This lecture will start with a presentation and discussion of the major aspects of the theory of Principles and Parameters. Further theories to be considered will be the Minimalist Program, Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), Func-tional Grammars and Cognitive Grammar. In each case information about the general approach and about relevant concepts will be provided. The advantages and disadvantages of these models will be pointed out.

Prerequisites: Successful completion of the Introduction to Linguistics. Suc-cessfulcompletion of the Grundlagenseminar Teil A „Syntax“ would be very helpful. Advanced students will profit most from the lecture.

A list of literature accompanying the lecture will be provided in the first meeting. As preparatory reading for some of the models to be discussed I recommend: U. Klenk (2003): Generative Syntax. Tübingen: Gunter Narr Verlag.

A.03.304 Issues in American Society: Literary NegotiationsDo 12-14 S-10.18 Branca


This course will investigate the way various literary texts ‘read,’ frame and inter-pret characteristic issues of American culture. While reading the following nov-els/novellas, we will continually be posing the question of how these books ‘write’ or even rewrite history, in other words, of how they provide an alternate or opposing voice to mainstream narratives of immigration and assimilation (Ju-lia Alvarez, How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents), religion (Flannery O’Con-nor, Wise Blood), race and identity (Toni Morrison, The Song of Solomon) and capitalism, technology, democracy and the media (Don DeLillo, Cosmopolis).

The requirements for 3 LP for LPO 2003 (Module C1)/BA (Module CII) or a Leistungsnachweis for LPO 1994/Magister (Teilbereich B or E) are a short reac-

P, Sek I/II: B 1, 3, EGHR, Gym/BK: C 1, C 2bBA: C II

This seminar offers 1) a general introduction to the study of culture, investigat-ing concepts such as cultural memory, national identity and collective values; 2) an overwiew over current trends in media studies, and 3) an introduction to the theory of laughter and the history of British comedy since the 1950s. We will look at the Satire Boom of the 1960s (incl. the satirical revue Beyond the Fringe, the satirical pamphlet Private Eye and TV programme That Was the Week That Was), the Comedy Store (1980s), the Carry On movies, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, the British situation comedy, from Dad’s Army to The Office and current radio comedy. The focus will be on the interaction between genres, media and dramatic structure on the one hand, and the social and cultural functions of hu-mour and comedy on the other.

A.03.321 British Cultural Studies Textual Selves: The Construction of Identity in 20th century British Fiction

Do 12-14 S-10.15 Heinen

Identity is one of the key concepts of Cultural Studies. It is not regarded as a given, but as a cultural construction resulting from complex cognitive operations. The seminar will first discuss the implications, advantages and drawbacks of such a concept of identity and its importance for cultural analysis. The second step of the seminar will be to look at selected fictional texts with a special focus on questions of identity construction, such as Virginia Woolf’s Orlando (1928), Nick Hornby’s Fever Pitch (1992), Julian Barnes’s England, England (1998) and other shorter texts. Thirdly, film adaptations of the novels will be examined with respect to their treatment of the novels’ central theme of identity.

Required reading:By the first meeting the three novels will have to be acquired and read. The shorter texts will be made available as they are needed during the semester.

In Europa gehören Märchen zur Folklore und sind Teil der mündlichen Tradition, die in den großen Sammlungen, etwa von Charles Perrault oder den Brüdern Grimm, schriftlich fixiert wurden.

Im Seminar sollen im 19. Jahrhundert in England entstandene Kunstmärchen, die z. B. von Charles Kingsley, George MacDonald oder Oscar Wilde geschrieben wurden, im Kontext der viktorianischen Literatur betrachtet und untersucht werden, in wieweit sie viktorianische Konzepte vermitteln oder unterminieren.

Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts (z. B. Anne Sexton, Margaret Atwood, Angela Carter, Jeanette Winterson, Gabriel Josipovici, Jenny Diski) haben traditionelle Märchen bearbeitet und zur Vermittlung aktueller ideologischer Positionen oder Probleme umgeformt. Anhand von Beispielen sollen diese Transformationen untersucht und gefragt werden, ob es eine postmoderne Form des Märchens gibt.

From Howard Brenton’s play The Romans in Britain (1980) to Mark Ravenhill’s Shopping and Fucking, British theatre has outraged morality campaigners on several occasions. This seminar looks into a wide range of plays by Peter Shaf-fer, Harold Pinter, Simon Gray, Alan Ayckbourn, Peter Nichols, Michael Frayn, Christopher Hampton, Tom Stoppard, Mark Ravenhill, Caryl Churchill and Kate Atkinson. It offers both an introduction to structuralist, semiotic and cognitive approaches to drama analysis as well as to current concepts of performativity and theatricality, and an overview of the recent history of the British stage.

Who should be entitled to write about the Holocaust? And what kind of writing should it be? Nowadays, more than 60 years after the horror regime, young writers all over the world – usually of Jewish descent – ask themselves how they could react creatively to the experiences of earlier generations. So, most of them are writing intertextual Holocaust fiction. – After an introductory section on ‘memory and the Holocaust’, on intertextuality, and on so-called fakes, we will be looking at four contemporary novelists and their works: Helen Darville, who – as Helen Demidenko – won some prestigious Australian literary prizes before it was discovered that her war novel The Hand that Signed the Paper (1994) was a fake; the Canadian Gretl Karen Fischer, who with her An Answer for Pierre (1999) wrote a more traditional autobiographical story, which delineates how Canadian Jewish immigrants cope with their past in a new country; a well-known writer from Israel, David Grossman, who in See Under: Love (1989) re-wrote the history of the artist Bruno Schulz, who had been murdered by an SS officer, and, finally, Everything Is Illuminated (2002), a perplexing pseudo-auto-biographical forage by one of America’s latest literary scions, Jonathan Safran Foer, into the country and culture of his grandparents, who had lived and suffered in the Ukraine.

In this course the focus is on fundamental aspects of foreign language teaching. We discuss past and present approaches to FLT, and the scientific and social-cul-tural background of their development. The aim is that students gain an under-standing of the factors that govern the construction of a syllabus by education authorities, the construction of textbooks for use in schools, and the relation of both to the teaching methods employed in schools by the teachers. At the end of the course there will be a written test.

All students must read the following books which help them understand the rela-tion of theories to practice:

A.03.400 Grundlagenseminar Teil AOrt und Zeit siehe Aushang N.N.

P, Sek I/II: C 1, 2GHR, Gym/BK: D 1BA: D I

In this course the focus is on didactic aspects of English language teaching in early and intermediate classes. That includes a discussion of the pros and cons of modern methods of language acquisition and of recent theories on foreign lan-guage teaching. The aim is that students learn to understand the similarities and differences between traditional approaches (using, for instance, the PPP-model) and modern task based approaches which put the focus on both meaning- and form-oriented activities. One example of the latter is content and language integ-rated instruction (bilingualer Sachfachunterricht). Parallel to these issues another focus of the seminar is put on study skills and the role both for studying and teaching. At the end of the course there will be a written test.

The aim of this course is to explore important foundations of language teaching with a special focus on learning English in upper intermediate and more ad-vanced classes (“Sekundarstufe II”). The previous years of learning, including pupils’ earlier learning experiences, will also be taken into consideration. Thus background knowledge of language learning theories and different approaches that are dealt with in the “Introduction to Foreign Language Teaching and Learn-ing” will be expected, reviewed and further elaborated on.Not only theories of foreign language learning but also actual teaching practise (“reflective teaching”) will be focussed on.Students are expected to actively engage in class discussions, cooperative learn-ing activities as well as to prepare, complete and present various assignments.Literature:Bausch, K.-R./ Christ, H./ Krumm, H.-J.

P, Sek I/II: C 1-3GHR, Gym/BK: D 2BA: D II

Most courses in English language teaching today follow a task-based approach. But the implementation of task-based learning is not without its problems. Its theoretical foundation can be related to modern theories of second language ac-quisition and the discussion of the relative merits of explicit and implicit know-ledge of language. It must also be related to the discussion of the roles of transfer and interference in second language learning. And it must be related to what all that means for the ‘methods’ of teaching a foreign language in schools classes. The situation in Germany, today, is that English in secondary schools must con-tinue the teaching of English which started in primary schools. It would be very artificial to separate the two as different forms of language learning and teach-ing. In this seminar we will discuss these questions. Students must register for this seminar in my office hours in February 2006.

In this course we will first deal with some theoretical aspects concerning the role of literature in foreign language teaching. Then we will take specific works of

literature as a starting point and explore various possibilities of approaching these texts in class. The specific texts for this seminar will be agreed upon in the first meeting. A list of suggestions will be provided which can be modified by the participants according to individual preferences and interests.Every participant is expected to investigate a particular topic in greater detail and to actively engage in the discussions, explorations and experiments. For the liter-ary text “is conceived of as a springboard to propel the learner into manifold lan-guage learning activities, rather than as a couch upon which he or she can pass-ively recline” (A. Maley 1988: 3).Aspects of language and communication, reading and narrative structure, foreign culture(s) and intercultural learning will also be explored.Students who would like to take part in this seminar are kindly requested to enrol (in O-09.04) until 15th March 2006.
