VORWORT Dieses Begleitbuch ZUIn Englischkurs im Telekolleg gibt Ihnen den notwendigen Riickhalt, urn den Fernseh-Sendungen konzentriert und mit Gewinn folgen zu konnen. Die Sendunge~ sollten S~ allerdings vollstandig sehen und sich an den Obungen wahrend der Sendung durch Mit- und Nachsprechen beteiligen. Dadurch wird die vom Medium Bildschirm her notgedrungen passive Darbietung fiir Sie bereits zu einer aktiv-produktiven Phase in Ihrem LernprozeE. Sendung und Begleitbuch werden Sie sehr wohl zur Beherrschung der englischen Sprache in Wort und Schrift fUhren. Als Telekolleg-Studierende beschreiten Sie einen sehr "direkten" Weg; unsere Schauspieler und Ihr Bildschirmlehrer sind native speakers, d. h. Englisch ist ihre Muttersprache. Dieses vollig authentische Englisch erleben Sie in Situationen, in denen auch manche landeskundli£he Aspekte sichtbar werden, hauptsachlich aus dem Bereich GroBbritannien, aber auch, namentlich in spateren Units (Lektionen), aus dem Themenkreis USA. Somit erschlieBt sich Ihnen der natiirliche Zusammenhang zwischen Sprache und kulturellem Hintergrund. In diesem Begleitbuch finden Sie die Spielszenen liickenlos abgedruckt. Es kann Ihnen also kein Satz entgehen, den Sie von den Schauspielern gehort haben. Als eine erste und stets wiederholbare Obung empfehlen wir Ihnen, daB Sie fiir sich selber die Rolle von Jane bzw. Russell iibernehmen, damit Sie durch lautes Sprechen dieser Rollen eine erste Sicherheit in Aussprache und Sprechfertigkeit erlangen. Wir wiinschen uns, daB Sie sich mit den actors identifizieren konnen, vor allem auch stimmlich, da Sympathie zweifellos die Lernbereitschaft fordern kann. Im AnschluB an die Spielszenen werden Fragen gestellt. Dabei unterscheiden wir zwischen Inhaltsbzw. Verstandnisfragen und Transferfragen. Die Transferfragen gehen iiber das Verstandnis des Inhalts hinaus. Sie werden aufgefordert, auch iiber sich zu berichten. Schrittweise erklart Ihnen dieses Buch sodann alle sprachlichen GesetzmaBigkeiten (Strukturen, Grammatik), wobei wir uns, in Zusammenarbeit mit Fachdidaktikern aus den einzelnen Bundeslandern, fiir eine zyklische Progression entschieden haben, d. h. das Neue wird regelmaBig wiederholt, komplexere Themen sind entflechtet und dosiert, so daB der Lernstoff, wie wir hoffen, fiir Sie jederzeit iiberschaubar und verkraftbar bleibt. Die Obungen, die sich an jeden neuen Lernschritt anschlieBen, sollen Sie miindlich und schriftlich machen. Seien Sie bitte nicht zu nachsichtig mit sich - vergleichen Sie nie Ihre eigene Leistung vorzeitig mit einer Losung! Geiibt werden der sprachliche Zugewinn, die Bewaltiguhg von Sprechanlassen und gelegentlich auch briefliche .AuBerungen, wobei die Ausbildung der sogenannten rezeptiven Fertigkeiten (listeningNerstehen, reading/Lesen) neben der der produktiven Fertigkeiten (speaking/Sprechen, writing/Schreiben) steht. Hand in Hand mit der sprachlichen Korrektheit (accuracy) wird die Sprechfertigkeit entwickelt mit einem standig breiter werdenden Angebot von Redemitteln fUr die verschiedensten Situationen, z. B. sich vorstellen, sich entschuldigen, eine Bitte auBern, telefonieren, Freude ausdriicken usw. Wir wiinschen Ihnen viel Freude und Erfolg mit unserem Englischkurs. Hannelore Gottschalk
