Letteratura e letteratura per l’infanzia

Semestre 2 · 12425 · Corso di laurea magistrale a ciclo unico in Scienze della Formazione primaria - sezione in lingua tedesca · 12CFU · DE

In this module, students acquire both theoretical knowledge about literature and didactic knowledge in dealing with literary texts. Based on findings from literary studies and literary didactics, and with special consideration of the primary school sector, the theoretical foundations of the subject are presented, didactic approaches and methods are introduced and worked on together using selected literary texts.
The module is divided into two parts, each consisting of a lecture and an accompanying laboratory. The first part deals with literature from the entire German-speaking world and focusses on the students as readers. The second part covers children's literature (German-language and translated into German) and focuses on its didactic integration in kindergarten and primary school.
