Reading Young Adult Literature
May 20th, 2022
About this symposium:
Young Adult literature (YA) is a burgeoning genre in the book world, with committed publishers and dedicated imprints, its own place in bookstores and libraries as well as on #bookstagram, and with its own set of passionate readers and fans. YA literature is a focal point for discussions surrounding bibliodiversity and heterogeneity in and beyond the classroom. To acknowledge these trends in YA, and consider the opportunities for ELT through and with YA, we merged our interests as researchers of English Language Education and Book Studies and coordinating this unique interdisciplinary symposium.

June 10th 2022
About this symposium:
Design-Based Research (DBR) has already become a fixed branch of research in many areas in recent years. In the context of foreign language education, there are already individual projects based on DBR principles, but there is a lack of a systematic methodological discourse. The symposium organized by the Chair of English Language Education aims to provide an impetus for a DBR network in foreign language research. Through the involvement of a pioneer and proven expert in the field of design-based research (Prof. Dr. Susan McKenney), as well as the various perspectives of stakeholders from practice (Michael Rogge, Janine Bruns) and research (Larena Schäfer, Svenja Haberland, Dr. Philipp Siepmann and Jens-Folkert Folkerts), discussions are initiated that systematically reflect the opportunities and challenges of design-based research in foreign language education. In this way, institutional framework conditions for DBR projects will be determined as well as the foundations for embedding DBR in different phases of teacher education. The main goal of this symposium is to establish a work group that further assesses research standards and a thorough knowledge basis that needed to conduct DBR in foreign language education. Therefore, the workgroup is supposed to coordinate and delineate forms of providing access to the gained results. On the one hand, findings should be presented at (international) conferences and on the other hand a publication which outlines DBR methodology in foreign language education should be prepared.Keynote speaker:

Fostering and Assessing Oracy in Foreign Language Education: Perspectives from Practice-Oriented and Design-Based Research
June 11th 2021
About this symposium:
This one-day symposium brought together researchers who follow a practice-oriented and/or design-based approach to researching oracy in foreign language learning. The aim of this symposium was to connect the two fields of oracy and practice-led research in order to create synergies for and find innovative approaches to researching oracy in foreign language education. Educational design research and other forms of field-based and practice-led research can make an important contribution to generating theory on the teaching and learning of foreign languages while simultaneously inspiring innovations in practice. This symposium promoted a broad understanding of oracy that includes traditional approaches of receptive and productive foreign language competences, but also embraced digital communication, language varieties, and the fostering and assessing of oracy in heterogeneous foreign language classrooms.Keynote Speakers:
Prof. Dr. Anne Burns, University of NSW, Australia
