Comment/Description

What defines quality journalism? And why is it important to discuss the fundamentals of journalism, thorough research, and different journalism genres with students? These questions are explored in the seminar "Reading and Writung Journalistic Texts in English as a Foreign Language." In this course, we aim to develop specific methods for future teachers to introduce students to journalistic texts. Through individual and group activities, we will also try out and implement classroom exercises ourselves. Another key focus will be the analysis of commonly used textbooks. Together, we will examine to what extent journalistic texts have already been incorporated into the curriculum and how they are handled in teaching materials. Additionally, we will explore the role of AI in journalism, the risks posed by chatbots like ChatGPT in a journalistic context, and where the potential benefits lie. Teaching materials (primary and secondary sources) will be provided.
