"Ağlayan Nar" Örneğinde Okur Merkezli Edebiyat Eğitimi ve Aktiviteye Dayalı Yabancı Dil Öğrenimi

Abstract

Foreign language teacher education programs situated in Faculties of Education are structured so as to develop the teacher candidates’ literary skills along with the language and field courses. Therefore, students at German Language Teaching divisions are supposed to learn about German literature through textual analysis and how to teach German with such texts. To realize both of these aims, this sample lesson plan is prepared to teach a novel in German called “Der weinende Granatapfel” (“The Crying Pomegranate”) which constitutes an intercultural quality. By moving from principles framing modern literature courses, the teacher candidates are shown how reader-centered literature and language teaching are, interrelated. This sample lesson model is developed so as to be used in all school in which German is taught in addition to German language teaching programs situated at universities.
