Prepositional Mistakes in German L2 English Speakers
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Grammar, Style, Working Technique, grade: 1,0, University of Freiburg, course: Introduction to Literary Studies, language: English, abstract: When doing an internship at a German secondary school, I realised English teachers are pointing out many errors to their students. Whether it is grammar, wrong use of a vocabulary word or their pronunciation, no matter their age or grade, the students are corrected whenever they say something wrong, but not once did I notice a teacher point out any prepositional mistakes to their students. But prepositional mistakes seem to be very common, I heard them in loads of sentences students tried to form on their own. As a result of this observation, I want to conduct in this study how many and what kind of prepositional mistakes are being made in the English language acquisition of German native speakers.

Teaching English to Young Arabic Speakers
The book explores young Arabic-speaking children's English language learning. Through classroom-based research and learner work samples, the book analyses the interplay between cultural norms and the critical role that teachers play in orchestrating classroom discourse through skillful use of available instructional materials, questioning strategies and feedback to learners. The author shows the potential of instructional materials to influence young learners' vocabulary, reading comprehension, and written production, as well as the way they acquire the academic literacies needed in school subjects taught in English. She reviews the spread of the practice of teaching English to young and very young children and the increasing demand for English-medium instruction in the Arabic-speaking region, with a particular focus on the negative transfer from Arabic to English spelling and grammar. The book also discusses the importance of story narratives, arguing they are an ideal medium for language teaching because of their rich linguistic repertoire and the strong motivational force that stories have on young language learners and their cognitive growth, essential to their later academic success. Taken together, the research findings and classroom vignettes suggest that children's language learning happens within a complex system of interactive variables and cultural norms and expectations.

The Revolt in the Desert
Choosing words with confidence in form of uniqueness is a kind of playing chess at Literature. King, queen, bishop, rook, and pawn have their known capacities, but the possibilities of combination are infinite and unpredictable. Perception on same words, from several essays, speaking or thinking at various temperaments and circumstances to the hearer and listener proportionately makes the same human mind to act with different physiology. To achieve a move is always to solve a problem, and is an essentially a creative art: "As the waves make towards the pebbled shore'' The work of art in existing book has a personal and literary style progressed with visual image, and determined with emotions and self-analysis, also, written very distinctly on human works of immortal beauty and works of nature. An eminent reader of the book, with manner of expression, must act sometimes as a thoughtful human with his general intelligence of his age: the spectacle is the collective life of humanity. No human being knows the whole about himself: It reminds on the Browning's fine poem, 'How it Strikes a Contemporary', who walked about, took note of everything, looked at the new house building, and pocked his stick into the mortar.
Taking Literature and Language Learning Online
The use of literary texts in language classrooms is firmly established, but new questions arise with the transfer to remote teaching and learning. How do we teach literature online? How do learners react to being taught literature online? Will new genres emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic? Is the literary canon changing? This volume celebrates the vitality of literary and pedagogic responses to the pandemic and presents research into the phenomena observed in this evolving field. One strand of the book discusses literary outputs stimulated by the pandemic as well as past pandemics. Another strand looks at the pedagogy of engaging learners with literature online, examining learners of different ages and of different proficiency levels and different educational backgrounds, including teacher education. Finally, a third strand looks at the affordances of various technologies for teaching online and the way they interact with literature and with language learning. The contributions in this volume take literature teaching online away from static lecturing strategies, present numerous options for online teaching, and provide research-based grounding for the implementation of these pedagogies.
