Hello and a warm

2
00:00:01.980 --> 00:00:05.105
welcome to the explainer video for the module
ENG 01

3
00:00:05.190 --> 00:00:08.435
respectively ENG 08 Introduction

4
00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:12.840
to the English Language Literary Studies and
the Teaching of English.

5
00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:16.385
This video is for students attending bachelor
programs

6
00:00:16.469 --> 00:00:20.765
in the field of primary, secondary and special
needs education,

7
00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:24.629
and it gives you an overview of your first
English module.

8
00:00:25.469 --> 00:00:28.236
For some of you, this might be the first semester

9
00:00:28.318 --> 00:00:29.675
at the PH Heidelberg.

10
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.169
So this video aims to help you get organized
and plan your studies.

11
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:37.386
We will first take a closer look at the module
overview

12
00:00:37.470 --> 00:00:40.535
and module handbook, then continue with the
courses

13
00:00:40.619 --> 00:00:43.229
you need to do and finish with the exam.

14
00:00:43.409 --> 00:00:46.026
So let's start off with the module overview,

15
00:00:46.109 --> 00:00:50.465
which is also called Studienverlaufsplan and
gives you some orientation

16
00:00:50.549 --> 00:00:53.430
which courses you can study in which semester.

17
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.765
You can find the module overview in the download
center

18
00:00:56.848 --> 00:00:58.848
of the website of the PH.

19
00:00:59.189 --> 00:01:01.000
So here you can see that when you're studying

20
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.000
secondary or special needs education, you're
probably taking this module

21
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.000
in your first semester.

22
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.000
Whereas if you're studying primary school teaching,

23
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.000
you're probably already in your second semester.

24
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.000
So let's move on to the module handbook.

25
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.000
You can find the module handbooks also in the
download area of the PH website.

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.000
You search for English and choose the first
module,

27
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.000
the Basismodul. Depending on which course of
studies you take,

28
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.000
there are different module numbers for secondary

29
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.000
and special needs education students

30
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.000
the module is called ENG 01, and for Primary
school student

31
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.000
it's called ENG 08.

32
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.000
When you complete this module, you will get
nine credit points,

33
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.000
eight in total for the seminars and lectures

34
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.000
and one for the exam.

35
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.000
Let's take a closer look at the seminars and
lectures.

36
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.000
There are three obligatory courses.

37
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.000
By saying courses I mean seminars, respectively

38
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.000
lectures. There's a course called Introduction

39
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.000
to the English Language, also known as Linguistics,

40
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.000
which gives three credit points, a course called
Introduction

41
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.000
to the Study of Literature, which gives two
credit points

42
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.000
and the course called Introduction to Teaching
English

43
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.000
as a Foreign Language, also known as TEFL,
which gives three credit points.

44
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000
Within the Linguistics course

45
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.000
you will explore the English language and its
structures,

46
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.000
so you will, for example, deal with phonology
and phonetics.

47
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.000
So the sound system of English, but also morphology,

48
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.000
which focuses on parts of words and word forms
and many other topics.

49
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.000
It is highly recommended to also attend the
tutorial

50
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.000
for Linguistics, because it is an additional
opportunity

51
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.000
to engage with the content.

52
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.000
The book that you need for this course is written
by George Yule

53
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.000
and is called The Study of Language.

54
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.000
Within the Literature course you will explore
aspects of literature

55
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.000
for example, fiction, poetry, drama and critical
approaches

56
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.000
The texts that you need are usually collected
in a reader,

57
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:00.000
to literature.

58
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.000
which you are asked to buy at the beginning
of a semester.

59
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.000
Those two courses are the same for special
needs education,

60
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.000
secondary and primary education students.

61
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.000
The third course is called Introduction to
Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

62
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.000
In this course, you will be introduced to theoretical
and practical concepts

63
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.000
of teaching English as a foreign language.

64
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.000
There are two different seminars for TEFL.

65
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.000
One seminar is for special needs education
and secondary students

66
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.000
and the other for primary education students.

67
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.000
The book that you need for the seminar differs
depending

68
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.000
on which field of studies you are taking, so
please check StudIP

69
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.000
for book recommendations.

70
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:50.000
Tutorials for TEFL are also offered and are
highly recommended. In LSF

71
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.000
you will get further information on course
details, such as the time,

72
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.000
place and so on.

73
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.000
You register for the courses on StudIP, so
you search the course

74
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.000
that you want to register for and then you
click at Zugang zur Veranstaltung

75
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.000
and that's it.

76
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.000
Finally, let's have a short look at the exam.

77
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.000
It's a written exam and there is no grade for
it,

78
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.000
so it's a pass or fail.

79
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.000
It consists of three parts Linguistics, Literature
and TEFL.

80
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.000
The exam is written in the exam period

81
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.000
at the end of the term. Your lecturers will
give you

82
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.000
more information nearer the time.

83
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.000
So good luck with your exam and your studies
in general

84
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.000
and thank you very much for watching.

85
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.000
Created using pattern.
