OER Shakespeare in context

This collection of OER was developed by participants of the master seminar Teaching Shakespeare in the EFL classroom by Prof. Dr. Susanne Heinz and contains 43 carefully designed worksheets dealing with the work of Wiliam Shakespeare. The worksheets offer various writing and speaking tasks to engage with the text, plot and characters.

A table with an open book, a pile of closed books, a quill in an inkwell and a burning candle stands in front of a sunlit window with the curtains drawn at the sides.
