Learning Games - Advanced Level

By: Melanie Kloke

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Paderborn (Fakultät für Kulturwissenschaften), course: Proseminar: Language Games, language: English, abstract: Learning a foreign language is always based on developing, improving and practising the four basic skills reading, speaking, listening and writing. Therefore, pupils have to imitate their teacher and repeat certain given patterns again and again to learn and get used to the spelling and pronunciation of the target language. This can, if always done in the same way, cause monotony and boredom among the learners and can lead to a low motivation. To avoid this development, teachers should try to involve as much activity and variations as possible to make the lessons more lively. Using games in the classroom can support the vitality of the learning process a lot and can help to motivate the pupils. They can be a good alternative to repetition drills or teacher centred lessons and can not only be helpful for teaching beginners a foreign language, but also to make lessons of advanced learners more varied. But, of course, a lot of facts have to be borne in mind and to be considered when games shall be integrated in the lesson. The following implementations will contain information about what games actually are, why they should be used and what is important to be aware of if they are used. Furthermore, the type of learning games and their advantages for advanced learners will be discussed. Finally, examples for learning games in advanced groups will be given and explained.

Hamlet and the Genre of the Revenge Tragedy

By: Melanie Kloke

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: In Elizabethan England the genre of the revenge tragedy was very popular. Many plays of this kind by several different playwrights, including William Shakespeare, were written and staged in the 16 th and 17 th centuries. The success of the genre was not only due to it’s bloody, criminal, and therefore exciting action but also to the topicality of revenge at that time. In revenge plays questions were raised which concerned the Elizabethans and which made them reflect on their own situations and attitudes. It was around 1570, that English playwrights took over the concept of the revenge tragedy from foreign authors such as Seneca. 1 However, the genre was so successful and widely spread among the English, that a new Elizabethan revenge tragedy was developed. The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kyd, which can be regarded as the prototype of the English revenge drama, constituted a pattern containing the basic elements of a revenge play, which a lot of contemporary authors, such as Shakespeare, are said to have followed. 2 In the following, the success of the Elizabethan revenge play will be examined with respect to the attitude towards vengeance at that time. Furthermore, the relevance of the revenge tragedies for the Elizabethan audience will be taken into consideration. Afterwards, the pattern introduced with Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy, the Kydian formula 3 , will be depicted before it’s basic constituents will be related to Hamlet, the most famous Shakespearean tragedy, in which revenge is an important motive.

The Development and Humorous Use of Fairy Tales by the Example of Little Red Riding Hood

By: Melanie Kloke

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1.3, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: “Once upon a time...” - At the beginning of a text these words already make obvious that the recipient is dealing with a fairy tale. Fairy tales are known all over the world, independent of age groups and social status. The most famous versions have been written by the Brothers Grimm, even though they were neither the first, nor the last authors of fairy tales. Instead, these stories have a very long tradition rooting in the culture of primitive people who expressed their own experiences by telling each other folk tales. Since then, every era and culture had tales like these, either adaptations of the original ones, or new stories always dependent on the respective time and situation, until the well-known fairy tales developed which are though to have been written for children. Today it is known, that this kind of literature is actually not only supposed to be for children. 1 Furthermore, the development of fairy tales didn’t stop in the 19 th century but is still in progress. By means of new media and modernised, often humorous, versions of the stories, they are still up-to-date and there exist versions for every age group. 2 One of these tales is the famous “Little Red Riding Hood”. With origins in the medieval storytelling tradition it has become a very popular folktale rewritten by different authors of various nationalities. Even today it is still a popular basis for stories, parodies or cartoons. Also at school, fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood can be used in their various versions and genres, either in its original version as a folktale or as a humorous story. Using this kind of stories in school can be used to bring fun into the class as well as to make pupils familiar with the genre of humorous stories used to express certain grievances in the society. In the following, the development of the fairy tale as a whole and of “Little Red Riding Hood” in particular will be displayed. Afterwards the use of fairy tales in the classroom will be discussed, before the other use of the tale, its use as a humorous story and its use and function at school will be shown. Again, special attention will be paid to the example of “Little Red Riding Hood.” [...]
