About the Program

Do you want to become a high school teacher and pass on your enthusiasm for the Spanish language to students? The study of Spanish for teaching offers you the perfect education for this! Immerse yourself in the world of Spanish language, culture and literature and acquire comprehensive knowledge in subject didactics and pedagogy. In the study of subject-specific science, the primary aim is to acquire knowledge in the various sub-areas of Spanish (linguistics, literature and cultural studies). The teaching degree program is therefore largely the same as the Bachelor's program. The areas of subject didactics and educational sciences are added. The scientific study of language, literature and culture is of great importance (about 50% of the course). Practical language skills are taught in separate courses (grammar, vocabulary, phonetics, translation, etc.). There is a reduced scientific training, a more in-depth language practical training as well as subject didactic and educational science study components.
