Our B.Ed. students are trained in the main disciplines of the subject English.
Literary and Cultural Studies, Linguistics and Academic English are the individual areas of study in the subject-specific part of the programme. Academic English focuses on advancing students’ language skills of spoken and written English. Graduates of our programme usually attain a C1, partly even a C2, level of proficiency in the English language according to the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR). Linguistics deals with language as a system (phonetics/ phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), language as a means of communication (pragmatics, socio- and psycholinguistics, language acquisition) and the historical development of English. In Literary and Cultural Studies, students learn to explore and analyze literary and cultural texts (including modern media such as photography or film and digital media) from Great Britain, North America and the postcolonial Anglophone regions within their specific socio-historical contexts.
