Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England- und Amerikastudien), course: Theory of Anaphora in Context , language: English, abstract: In this term paper I will investigate whether the implementation of reflexive pronouns through seventh grade English-schoolbooks is sufficient to let students understand and eventually use this phenomenon correctly. In the first part of this paper, I will begin with introducing the phenomenon. Here, I will give a short overview of how reflexive pronouns developed. Furthermore, I will present two different acknowledged theories (Chomsky and Reinhart & Reuland) and their conditions on reflexive pronouns. I will then show the two different usages of this phenomenon and will give examples of cases which are somewhat different from the common way of using it. In the second part, I will present the explanations and rules as they are given in the three most commonly used schoolbooks here in Hesse to show how reflexive pronouns are implemented. In part three, I will investigate in how far these rules are sufficient to explain the examples given in those schoolbooks respectively. I will furthermore analyze examples given in Mary Shelley¿s ¿Frankenstein¿ and Oscar Wilde¿s ¿The Canterville Ghost¿, which are suggested for the use in seventh grade. Here, I will rather put my focus on somewhat more complex examples in order to find out whether those short rules apply for them as well. I will then conclude, whether my assumption that the explanations in these schoolbooks are not sufficient can be verified.

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England- und Amerikastudien), course: Stepping stones: Drama in education and cooperative learning methods, language: English, abstract: In der vorliegenden Hauptseminararbeit beschäftigt sich die Autorin mit Dramapädagogik speziell im Englischunterricht. Zunächst schildert sie ein Beispiel aus ihrerer eigenen Lehrerfahrung, das sie danach als Grundlage für weitere Ausführungen nimmt. In der Arbeit legt sie anschließend dar, worum es sich bei dem Begriff Dramapädagogik handelt. Danach geht sie auf Ziele des Fremdsprachenlernens ein und zeigt, wie diese mit Dramapädagogik erreicht werden können. Ferner konzentriert sie ihre Ausführungen auch auf die verschiedenen Rollen, die ein Lehrer hierbei einnehmen kann und zeigt mögliche Gefahren auf. Im letzten Kapitel zeigt sie, wie insbesondere die Schüler im Dramaprozess gefragt sind und gefördert werden. Dies unter anderem auch mit kooperativen Lehrmethoden. Am Ende ordnet sie diese Erkenntnisse in ihre Lehrphilosophie ein.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England- und Amerikastudien), language: English, abstract: In this term paper a closer look will be taken at George L. Aiken¿s play Uncle Tom¿s Cabin considering the question of the usage of racial stereotypes. The subject will be introduced by quoting a German newspaper headline that stirred a controversy and reflects on how Uncle Tom¿s Cabin and especially the perception of racial stereotypes had an impact to this day. Here it will also be stated how the meaning attributed to the character has gone through a major change since its creation.In the following paragraph the origins of the story will shortly be described, Harriet Beecher Stowe¿s novel of the same title, her background, her motivations and the ambivalence of opposing slavery on the one hand while using und thus reinforcing racial stereotypes on the other.The next paragraph will show that the same can be said of Aiken who used the novel as the basis for his play shortly after it was published and adopted Stowe¿s stereotypes on a large scale. This will be demonstrated on the example of the supposed ¿religious spirit¿ of Uncle Tom by taking a closer look at his religious beliefs and his ¿child-like faith¿ in the different scenes of the play. Here it becomes particularly interesting how he relates to white adults, respective the discrepancy demonstrated between him and people his own age on the one hand, while the affinity of his mind to the one of children on the other.The closing statements will include an interpretation and analysis of the representation of Uncle Tom in Aiken¿s play especially in terms of Tom¿s Christianity. This is meant to discover whether he is only that child-like spirited slave or only a tragic hero or whether his personality is more complex and one should use more then a few words for describing his character.
