Foreign Language Teaching
III.37 From Speeches to TED Talks – Listening to the Other, Finding One’s Own Voice
Ulrike Sievers | Sunday – Wednesday, 2.45 – 4.15 pm
We will discuss how we can use authentic language material to inspire young people, to awaken their interest in the world and to motivate them to engage with the foreign language
We will read / listen to / watch speeches, poetry, podcasts, TED talks and compare their various formats, qualities, challenges and potential
We will experience how these formats can be used to accompany young people on their journey of not only discovering the world and the other, but also learning about themselves and finding their own voice.
