Internship of German as a Foreign Language

Students of any subject, whose native language is German or German and another language, may sit in on our courses for international students (intensive courses during semester; grammar, conversation and courses about Germany or intercultural communication).

There are clear advantages for the international participants when native speakers of German take part in the courses:

• more practice of German and correction of mistakes
• learning in small groups
• more contact and communication with Germans, greater social and cultural integration

What this offers German-speaking students:

• The opportunity to explain their native language and thereby to learn more about it
• Gaining practical experience in teaching both within Germany and abroad
• Experience in working with international groups (intercultural skills)
• By sitting in on these classes regularly, Bachelor’s and Master’s students may have this participation recognized as a professional skill and earn a certificate and a maximum of 3 ECTS credits
• Information on the subject “German as a second language” and further options for training
