Description

In the framework of a cooperation between the project Network for Impactful Digital International Teaching Skills (NIDIT) and the International Doctoral Program "Literary and Cultural Studies" (IPP) of the JLU, we are pleased to invite you to the preparatory training session for the IPP Workshop Series in Winter Semester 2025/2026 on October 23rd, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. This workshop focuses on teaching methods and approaches essential for planning, preparing, and delivering teaching sessions in the academic setting of Literary and Cultural Studies. The workshop addresses key topics such as the conception of teaching and learning objectives, the integration of strategies for giving and taking effective feedback, the application of strategies for providing formative assessment, and the implementation of tools for interactive teaching-learning activities and tasks. The aim of this workshop is twofold. On the one hand, it seeks to make participants feel more confident when planning and delivering their teaching sessions. On the other hand, it attempts to improve participants' teaching skills in a variety of settings.

Learning Objectives

Participants of this workshop will:

  • broaden their understanding and use of key teaching methods and approaches in the area of literary and cultural studies;
  • get better insights into lesson planning, preparing, and delivering by considering major didactic principles and methods;
  • get acquainted with tips on how to conceive and elaborate learning objectives/outcomes;
  • know how to incorporate effective feedback that mirrors formative and on-going assessment in students.

Content

To achieve the aforementioned objectives, this workshop consists of the following stages with their respective contents:

1. Workshop (Preparatory Training Session) – Basic Didactic Principles and Teaching Methods for IPP Members:

  • Conception of learning objectives,
  • Development of teaching-session planning,
  • Structuring a teaching session: phases and activities,

2. Counseling (Optional - This depends on whether the participant wants individual counseling and follow-up in his or her teaching):

  1. Participants will receive individual coaching and follow-up to discuss their strengths and weaknesses in lecturing based on their workshop observations. They will also receive tips and tricks to improve their teaching methodology and lecturing skills. 
  2. This workshop contains background documents, formats, and PowerPoint presentations to introduce and explain each topic. Detailed bibliography and handouts of digital tools and resources will be given to participants to assist them in the planning of their workshops to be presented in the IPP workshop series.
