Book synopsis

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, printed single-sided, grade: 2,7, University of Siegen, course: Teaching English: Methods And Approaches, language: English, abstract: In my term paper I will try to investigate a unit of an English course book for German learners of English as their second language. For this aim I will use the English G2000 B1 for the fifth grade Realschule . I decided for the Realschule version as I m studying on teaching profession for this type of school.Considering the extent of this paper I will not be able to investigate this course book completely. Instead of this I will concentrate on a small unit topic 4 in the end of unit four, which deals with money and shopping. In G2000 every unit closes with such a short topic-unit and it has just like the larger units a focus on a language skill. In case of topic 4 it is speaking.In order not to write too much I will put emphasize on the methodological and theoretical background of the exercises and tasks of this unit: Which methods are used? What about the role of the learner/teacher? Which competences are demanded and supported? Is it sufficient to teach English only with the help of a course book?Therefore I will give a short glimpse on the historical background of language teaching and learning at first, so that the reader deserves basic information about methods and their theoretical background.For a better entrance to my topic I will also involve the teacher s manual. It includes information about new vocabulary, materials and methods. Furthermore it offers the teacher instructions for the exercises in the student s course book.Therefore it is in a way essential, because it is in fact a manual for the student s book. Topic 4 consists of four main exercises. Some of them are slightly complemented by parallel tasks from the pupil s workbook, which is also available as additional support to the course book. Furthermore there is a Vocabulary Action Sheet in the end of the teacher s manual including some vocabulary exercises for each unit.
