Teacher-Training Degree for "Gymnasium" and "Regionale Schule"

The teacher-training degree courses for Polish and Russian prepare students for the teaching profession in academic and practical classes.

Teaching in the degree course is based around the academic and theoretical examination of the language, literature and culture of Poland or Russia. The course also provides in-depth, practical intercultural knowledge about linguistic connections, the history, politics, economic, geographical and social characteristics of the Polish and Russian-speaking regions. The comprehensive practical language training enables students to master all communication situations with confidence. The didactic components of the degree course enable students to practise the planning, organisation and implementation of Polish and Russian lessons.

As part of a degree course in a modern foreign language such as Polish or Russian, students must complete a period of stay abroad of at least three months in the country that is home to the language being studied. Additional foreign language skills are also required. Knowledge of two other foreign languages (level A2 CEFR) is required for the Gymnasium teaching degree and knowledge of one other foreign language (level A2 CEFR) for the teaching degree for Regionale Schule. Details are regulated in the joint examination and study regulations for the modularised teacher-training degree courses.

In addition to subject-specific and didactic training at the Department of Slavonic Studies, teaching degree courses also include components from educational science. You will attend courses at the Department of Educational Science and the Institute of Psychology, and complete periods of teaching practice.

Further information can be found on the website of the Department of Educational Science and in the examination and study regulations for educational science.
