Mediation and Genre Analysis for English Teachers

Publications: Contribution to bookChapterPeer Reviewed

Abstract

Mediation and Genre Analysis for English Teachers (MAGNET) is one of two required English language competence courses designed for pre-service English teachers in the Master of Education (MEd) program of the Department of English and American Studies at the University of Vienna. While its companion course, Advanced Speaking Skills for English Teachers (ASSET), is focused on developing advanced spoken English for educational contexts (see Richter, “Advanced Speaking Skills for English Teachers,” this volume), MAGNET emphasizes advanced genre analysis, writing, and mediation skills. There is no prerequisite for attendance other than admission into the MEd program. The language proficiency of students is expected to be at the upper range of C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe, 2020).
