Overview
1. Didactic background
2. ‘Grammar games’: Active learning in class
3. LinguTrain: Self-instruction outside the classroom
4. Moodle: Discussion forums and additional material
5. Active learning methods in linguistics

The classes
Participants: Linguistics students; 70% study to become teachers at high schools and sixth-form colleges
Curriculum: Grammatical structure of German; Formal methods of linguistic analysis

The classes
Tight time-tables necessitate concise instruction;
Classes can be very large (up to over 100 students);
Classes are heterogeneous (+ specialisation, motivation)
Challenges:

‘Active learning’ methods
+ Increase students’ interest in linguistic topics
Methods that do not treat students as passive recipients of the teacher’s instructions,but as active participants in the learning process
+ Allow students to experience didactic methods that they can later employ when teaching grammar at schools

‘Active learning’ methods
Self-instruction (tools of grammatical analysis)
In class: Classroom materials that support independent studies, in particular ‘grammar games’.
Outside class (internet): Linguistic training program: LinguTrain; Additional material and discussions: Moodle.

‘Active learning’ methods
Research projects (apply analysis tools)
Empirical investigation, carried out in team-work;
Intermediate reports and final presentation of results.
Organise work, discuss problems,contact other teams: Moodle.

Positive potential of ‘active learning’ methods
Differentiation: Differentiated tasks fit the needs of different students.
Flexibility: Option of running a variety of activities at the same time.

Positive potential of ‘active learning’ methods
Cooperation: Team work, cooperative learning
Emancipation: Self-instruction, independent studies
+ Motivation, enhanced learning success

Grammar games
Tasks: Analysis and discussion of linguistic structures
Form: Similar to familiar games (jigsaw puzzles, card games,
board games, dominoes, Scrabble)
Control mechanisms: Students monitor each other’s contribution Self-regulation through pictures etc. Answers on separate sheets.
