Aim

Students reflect on the importance of reading socialisation in a multilingual context and the multimodal and multimedia approaches to reading. They familiarise themselves with a wide range of methodological and didactic options for teaching literature and culture. Special consideration is given to topics in children's and young adult literature such as diversity, gender, democracy and sustainability. They deepen their knowledge of literary studies and literary history. Students design theory-based, action- and production-oriented learning scenarios for literary learning and literary classroom discussions in the context of heterogeneity and multilingualism in a digitalised and globalised world. They initiate and promote a diverse and lively reading culture in the classroom and at school.
