Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics - English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,7, University of Marburg (Anglistik), course: New Media in Foreign Language Teaching, language: English, abstract: 1. IntroductionMusic videos are an important part of the lifestyle of many youths, they have been spreadover the whole world by the television channel MTV (Music Television)1 and they havebecome an essential aspect of the popular culture. Obviously, the Hessian curriculum hasrealized the importance of music videos: The topic 'Young People Exploring the World'('Jugendliche und ihre Welt') for 11th grade includes the sub-topic 'Culture and Media'('Kultur und Medien')2.

Equipped with thisfundamental knowledge, the students are enabled to analyse their specific music video on their own and to present them to the class, and the rest of the class can discuss or addaspects which the presenter may not have found. In this termpaper, I will present an exemplary teaching unit.…
