The Institute of Geography offers an additional qualification in bilingual teaching in English and French. Bilingual teaching is subject teaching in a foreign language. It is intended to deepen and expand intercultural and foreign language communication skills and competencies. The courses are offered at irregular intervals. Admission is based on progress and availability of places. A guaranteed participation and implementation cannot be warranted. Your contact person is: Marion Plien<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-heading>\n\n\n\n

The following content is taught in the English courses:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n

To be (lingual) or not to be(lingual)<\/em> – the question is rather Who – How – What?<\/em> around the currently popular bilingual geography lessons! In this seminar, many important foundations will be laid to provide an insight into the history, didactics and methodology of bilingual geography teaching. The focus here is, for example, on the integration of language and subject content in bilingual lessons (in line with the CLIL concept), teacher requirements, modifications of subject teaching through foreign language teaching and the analysis and comparison of target language school (book) material. Methods such as scaffolding and code switching are also examined in more detail. In addition to current specialist texts, the curriculum and regulations on bilingual teaching are also examined and a brief insight into practice is provided, for example by addressing supplementary teaching in the orientation stage or the oral Abitur. Subject-specific vocabulary and topographical knowledge are also specialized in the foreign language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular, active participation and passing the exam are necessary conditions for obtaining the certificate! Absences must always be excused in writing and the absence regulations of the Department of Geography must be observed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seminar serves to acquire the additional bilingual English training for students of teacher education for Gymnasium and integrated schools. It is the first of three seminars as part of the additional certificate. It is advisable to take the three seminars on bilingual geography teaching in succession, as they build on each other in terms of content. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n

There are many different didactic and methodological approaches in the practice of bilingual teaching, and there is not (yet?) a consensus on “the right way”. This seminar allows participants to try out different methodological and didactic approaches and offers insights into the planning, implementation and evaluation of bilingual lesson series and lessons. In this way, valuable practical insights can be gained in order to create a basis for teaching at a school with a bilingual branch or for teaching bilingual modules in the teaching profession. The use of authentic school materials from Anglo-Saxon countries and bilingual materials specially developed for German schools by various publishers will also be tested. The use of both languages (L1 and L2), in the sense of dual literacy<\/em>, as well as code switching<\/em> are also put into practice and reflected upon. Your own foreign language skills should meet the requirements of the C1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular, active employee participation, a high level of foreign language competence and the planned lesson (planning and implementation) are required credits for obtaining the certificate. Absences must always be excused in writing and the absenteeism regulations of the Department of Geography must be observed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seminar serves to acquire the bilingual additional English training for students of teacher education for Gymnasium and integrated schools. It is the second of a total of three seminars as part of the additional certificate. This course is based on the theoretical knowledge of the first seminar (didactic and methodological principles, curricula, etc.). It is therefore advisable to take the three seminars on teaching bilingual geography in succession. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
