Comment/Description

A global simulation is a task-based teaching method that gives learners the opportunity to experience and use the foreign language in a fictitious but real-life scenario. By making use of different creative methods, material and media, an authentic space is created - this can for example be an island, a different country, a village, a zoo, a circus, a house, a company, or in our case an award ceremony in Hollywood -, in which the participants take over different roles and master various communicative situations and tasks.

In this course, you will explore the potential a global simulation has to offer for the context of foreign language learning. You will learn how to plan and conduct a global simulation based on a textbook unit on Hollywood and get the chance to put your ideas into practice. In your research projects, you will be able to assess and evaluate your global simulation.

In cooperation with the IGS Geismar, we will design and carry out a simulation project at the YLAB and invite 8th grade students to join us in this creative adventure. There, pupils will enter the foreign language context we’ll have designed for them, including a specific time and place, and take over new identities. Following different rules and instructions, they will interact with each other, read documents they may find, write notes to each other, solve problems, create and explore. The aim is that you, of course also in role, motivate and encourage the students to actively use the foreign language and support them in doing so.

There will be a 5-6 week preparation phase at school prior to the simulation project. The simulation projects themselves will be carried out on a weekday morning at the end of the project.

Both the preparation at school and the simulation project will be part of your internship (Note: This counts as your Forschungspraktikum, you will not have to do another internship at a school.) Moreover, you will learn how to do your own research project during your internship including methods and instruments which will help you to answer the research question which we develop in the context of the course.

Please note: The Global Simulations will take place in a few weeks before the end of the semester, so you will spend two full mornings of that week on the project (one during your own Global Simulation, one helping your fellow students with theirs). You will prepare the simulation at school with your class for several weeks before the simulation. You will spend one 45- and one 90 minute-lesson per week in your class, so make sure to have free slots in the mornings available if you sign up.

The number of participants per course is restricted to 12 students.
