We advise you on your individual concerns, such as

Teaching academic writing and reading
designingcourses or teaching units on academic writing and reading
using suitable writing methods and exercises (we have an extensive collection of teaching materials)
Giving students feedback on their texts

We are happy to give you feedback on handouts and information material for students on academic writing.

With us, you can take the didactic writing shortcut. We look forward to hearing from you!

Teaching workshops

In addition to individual teaching advice on didactic writing issues, we are also planning a new format from 2025: SZD teaching workshops. Over the past few years, we have compiled an extensive collection of handouts and didactic concepts on writing in teaching and the support and supervision of student work. You can find part of this collection in our handouts "Writing Start-Up Guide" (PDF) and "Writing Didactics Start-Up Guide" (PDF, in German). Nevertheless, we know that it takes a lot of time to sift through these materials and integrate them into existing teaching concepts. We would like to support you in this process and offer you and your colleagues a framework: As a lecturer in a department (min. 3, max. 9 people), arrange an individual appointment with us at which you can view and discuss our materials with us and integrate them directly into your existing teaching concepts or further develop your teaching concepts. If you are interested in an SZD teaching workshop for the summer semester 2025 or winter semester 2025/2026, please send us a non-binding e-mail to .

Lecture and workshop program

Our current continuing education program with all information and registration can be found in the OPAL course "Continuing Education of the SZD".
