Seminar, discussion, presentation
Assessment methods
The course can be concluded with either a "Zapocet" or a "Kolokvium" according to the participants' own choice. For the "Zapocet", the students must teach a German-language poetic text of their own choosing as a team, present this teaching with the team in the seminar and then record it in writing. Since this is teamwork, the written teaching must describe exactly how each team member was involved in developing the teaching. For the "Kolokvium", an individual seminar paper must also be prepared on a method of working with literary poetic texts in German as a foreign language lessons. Active participation in the course is expected.
