About the Program

This program prepares future teachers with the academic, didactic, and practical prerequisites for teaching English in primary schools. Students acquire knowledge of the English language and literature and learn how to optimally convey this knowledge in primary schools. They engage intensively with models and concepts of foreign language teaching in primary school (lesson planning, media use, evaluation, reflection, etc.). The English subject comprises 35 credit points (LP) within the primary school teaching degree, which requires a combination of three subjects totaling 120 credit points. German and Mathematics are mandatory subjects, with one chosen as the main subject (50 LP), while the other and the third subject (English in this case) comprise 35 LP each.
