SUMMARY:Teaching English to Sse Tschörmans with Stefan Fodor
DESCRIPTION:A closer look at the similarities and differences between Engli
 sh and German and their significance for teaching English as a Foreign Lan
 guage in a German-speaking environment\nMost of our students speak German 
 as their native language or second language. What impact does this have on
  our teaching? How can we make the most of the similarities between the tw
 o languages to help our students progress quickly? And where can we antici
 pate possible problems and find ways to get around them? We will consider 
 lexis\, grammar\, and pronunciation. In the last part of the workshop we w
 ill put our findings in the context of the ELF (English as a Lingua Franca
 ) discussion and and address the question: Which key features of the langu
 age do English trainers really need to convey to their students in order t
 o help them communicate effectively in today’s international business wo
 rld?\nStefan Fodor is a native of Munich and a native speaker of German. H
 e majored in English and Spanish translation studies at the University of 
 Mainz-Germersheim (Rheinland-Pfalz)\, enjoyed a DAAD scholarship to Univer
 sity College Cork (Republic of Ireland)\, which boosted his English skills
  while putting an end to any notion of mastering RP\, and subsequently att
 ended graduate school in the US states of Illinois and California\, where 
 he earned post-graduate degrees in history. Since his return to Munich in 
 the early 1990s he has devoted himself to foreign language teaching. Stefa
 n works as a freelance trainer for German and English and has co-authored 
 German course materials for Klett.
