Praktikum Kolloquium Individuelle Förderung Individual Learner Support in the Language Classroom A Joint Project between the University of and the Helmholtz Gymnasium

Increasingly heterogeneous classes are both a challenge and an opportunity for language teachers. Concepts of differentiation and individual learner support enable teachers to not only provide appropriate learning options for the individual learner, but they also help to use heterogeneity as an enrichment. In this project, students will work with different classes of the Helmholtz Gymnasium in Essen and participate in -Förderunterricht-. These are classes that are geared to differentiation and individual learner support. Apart from the work at school, a seminar will provide background information on differentiation, methodology and lesson planning. There are different options: 1. Jahrgangsstufe 10: -Vorbereitung einer mündlichen Kommunikationsprüfung- 2. Jahrgangsstufe 7: -Fostering literary and writing skills- • 1. Jahrgangsstufe 10: -Vorbereitung einer mündlichen Kommunikationsprüfung-. According to the new curriculum, one written test (Klausur) can be replaced by an oral presentation (mündliche Kommunikationsprüfung). Thus, concepts for training presentation and discourse skills for different learner types and students with different ability levels will be developed in this project and put into action in class. Students are required to participate in the preparatory seminar (Ms Osieck) that will take place at the Helmholtz-Gymnasium, Rosastraße 83, 45130 Essen, Mondays 4-6 p.m.. First meeting: 07.11.2011, 4 p.m., room P2. In addition to that, students are required to teach one day per week in one class (see school dates below). School dates: Mo 3.+4. Std.

Jahrgangsstufe 7: -Fostering literary and writing skills- In this project, concepts for training literary and writing skills for different learner types and students with different ability levels will be developed and put into action in class.
