Описание программы обучения "German as a second language/foreign language"

German as a second language – DaZ in the context of migration and integration

Germany is one of the countries with the highest immigration rates, which means that integration processes in particular should be approached in a target group-oriented and language-sensitive manner. The need for concepts and measures to deal with cultural and linguistic diversity is therefore increasing: well-qualified language and cultural mediators and trained teachers are needed. Among other things, they should have access to the culture and society of the migrants' countries of origin and also be capable of conceptual work as well as coordination and management tasks. Possible activities in the area of ​​DaZ include:

• Teaching at schools, in integration courses and in qualification measures for young people and adults (e.g. as part of BAMF literacy courses, professional language courses, etc.) 
• Client-oriented moderation and consulting activities for transcultural communication
• Design and advice on tasks of transcultural communication and integration
• Training and further education for specialists in coordination and management tasks
• Creation of media and materials
• Language diagnostics, design and implementation of tests and examinations
• Activities at publishers and/or foundations

German as a foreign language – DaF

German has consolidated its position as a foreign language in many regions of the world, especially as a second and additional foreign language. The need is increasingly geared to the specific interests of the learners. In many countries there is therefore a need, particularly in the following fields of activity:

• Language teaching and cultural mediation at universities for students of all subjects
• Teaching assistants and editors abroad (e.g. DAAD, foundations)
• German as a technical language, e.g. law, economics, humanities, social sciences, medicine, engineering
• German as a professional language
• Teaching German as a foreign language and in German-language specialist teaching at schools abroad (local staff, program teachers)
• Coordination and advice on teaching activities
• Project work in cultural mediation institutions
• Creation of media and materials
• Creation and implementation of tests
• Publicatory activities

Карьерные перспективы по завершению программы обучения "German as a second language/foreign language"

Networking of theory and practice

The MA DaZ/DaF offers a close network of theory and practice, which also extends to interdisciplinary study elements. This is evident, for example, in the integration of teaching and professional internships with seminars (Module 7 and Module 9) as well as in practice-oriented examinations such as "Project presentation with colloquium" (Module 6).

Empirical research

The course is designed in such a way that skills in academic work and research are systematically developed. To this end, the specialist parts of the course include discussions of current research topics and studies (Module 8). Current empirical research is present throughout the Master DaZ/DaF, with modules 1, 2, 8 and 11 placing a particular focus on empirical research and current studies. Students also complete their studies with an empirical master's thesis (module 11).
From the very beginning, scientific working techniques and research designs are therefore taught (e.g. in the seminars "Areas of work and methods in DaZ/DaF" or "Empirical research methods and designs").

Worldward with the binational Master's degree program DaF

In addition to the national MA DaZ/DaF, the PH Freiburg also offers the opportunity to study a binational MA DaF (German as a foreign language) with a double degree in cooperation with the Universidad de Antioquia in Medellín/Colombia.

Стажировки и практика в программе обучения "German as a second language/foreign language"

The transfer of specialist knowledge into experiential/practical knowledge is a central area in the DaZ/DaF master's degree programs. The two compulsory internships of the course therefore promote subject-related, methodological, social and personal skills that contribute to the development of individual professional identity.

The following practical phases are a compulsory part of the course:

Day internship (in the 3rd semester, module 7)
The day internship takes place weekly in the winter semester during the entire lecture period (usually Wednesdays between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.). The internship is accompanied and supervised by lecturers. There is also an accompanying event every 14 days.

5 weeks (approx. 8 hours/day, approx. 40 hours per week); can be completed at home or abroad (mandatory registration for admission by the head of the study programme or study programme coordinator)
