About the Program

The subject of French in the Master of Education program includes practical application of the French language as well as French literature, linguistics and cultural studies. In terms of subject-specific content, this degree program covers the improvement of practical French language skills–both oral and written–as well as translations in academic and socio-cultural contexts. Content from the areas of literary criticism and linguistics is covered as well. Students furthermore learn about multiple methods and theories from the areas of linguistics and literary criticism as well as their practical and independent application. This includes critically analyzing the content and methodology of French literature of various epochs, genres and authors, taking the respective cultural, political and societal context into account. While students in the bachelor's degree program focus on gaining subject-specific knowledge, the Master of Education degree program puts a stronger emphasis on educational sciences and subject didactics. Students learn about theories of language teaching and language learning and study the didactics and methodologies of communicative foreign language instruction, giving special consideration to differences with regard to language and culture as well as other forms of heterogeneity within learning groups. The teaching degree for vocational schools combines a professional discipline with a school subject and educational sciences. The practical semester is a key component of the degree program.
