VeranstaltungsortD10.0.06Veranstalter Institut für KulturanalyseBeschreibungAs diversity is often perceived as a challenge, public childcare is increasingly claimed to be an equalizer that benefits children from supposedly problematic family backgrounds who fail to produce ‘proper’ citizens. The project investigates public childcare as a central, yet ambivalent, site of citizenship by raising the question: How are children perceived to be different and how are they prepared to assume the role of future citizens? The central methodological tool is to follow the discourse and the traces of its subject(s) across multiple dimensions: from the level of policies, dominant discourses and norms in teaching contents, their translation into concrete pedagogical practice at day-care institutions right up to their impact on diversity and its negotiation betweenpublic childcare and the ‘private’ realm of families. The paper will give insights into the fieldwork in training centres for childcare workers and in two public childcare institutions in Vienna.Vortragende(r)Astrid Baerwolf (Wien)KontaktJanine Schemmer (Janine.Schemmer@aau.at)

VeranstaltungsortHS 3Veranstalter Institut für Anglistik und AmerikanistikBeschreibungIn the more than 300 years of learning and teaching English in German-speaking countries we find evidence of innovative methods, customized teaching materials, a wide range of practices as well as examples of theoretical and empirical research. Some developments have been forgotten, others exert an influence on the field of ELT to this day. Knowing about the multi-faceted past may help us to better understand the present and recognize the constant and universal elements of language teaching and learning. Vortragende(r)Prof. em.
