APTE (Module 3)

The Advanced Practice of Teaching English module covers an extended and in-depth range of theories of English didactics, linked with findings from related disciplines, as well as their application and reflection in complex teaching contexts. One focus is on the group-specific promotion of functional and intercultural communicative competence, text and media competence as well as language learning competence and language awareness in English lessons in the respective type of school studied. This includes opportunities for individual support in heterogeneous learning groups, requirements for self-directed learning, analysis and evaluation of the target- and addressee-oriented use of digital and analog media as well as requirements for bilingual teaching and learning, taking into account political education and education for sustainable development. In addition, the module covers practical language aspects of English as a foreign language, with a particular focus on the context of teaching.

Upon completion of the module, students have the competence to independently plan, implement, analyze and reflect on a complex competence-oriented series of lessons in English at the type of school they are studying in a theory-based manner. They can communicate and discuss the corresponding plans, analyses and reflections in a scientifically and didactically appropriate form in order to systematically deepen their subject-specific didactic theoretical knowledge on this basis. Furthermore, students have the competence to use the foreign language English at a university-specific level, taking particular account of the application context of teaching. This is based on level C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. In this respect, students have a comprehensive awareness of language and language learning, which enables them to independently diagnose and systematically develop their language skills.
