Teaching in the EFL classroom is more complex than simply memorising phrases and translations. English has a varied and complex history that still exerts a force on the language today. Teaching English, therefore, must engage with the past and how it is used today. Issues of etymology can connect with those of politics, just as issues of culture can be of fundamental relevance for identity. This course will focus on the historical aspects of teaching English, specifically the language’s similarity to German, and how literary texts from the English past can be used effectively for teaching purposes. Students will analyse a range of historical examples of English and English culture, and will develop novel teaching ideas in small groups.
