Overview

Key Facts

The eighteen credits in specialised education provided by the English - Component in the Master of Education from Heidelberg University are divided equally between the areas of English-language literature and English linguistics. On the basis of relevant theory and methodology, a range of pertinent research-related academic topics and current research studies will be studied and discussed, both orally and in writing.

The didactic portion of the degree programme (comprising twelve credits) lays out and expands fundamental knowledge in the areas of bilingual instruction and learning, intercultural learning, language work, use of media in the classroom, and basics of school organisation. In addition, the interplay between English-language studies, didactics, and pedagogy will be examined and reflected upon.

Programme Structure

During the first semester, attendance at a major seminar in either linguistics or literature will build on the knowledge attained during the Bachelor’s degree, while, in the same semester, students will attend an introductory seminar in specialised didactics. In the second semester, the Blended Module will be added, consisting of a course offered by the Heidelberg University of Education: “Task-Supported Language Learning and Teaching” along with a complementary major seminar. Following the practical semester (third semester), students will enrol (in the same semester) in the block course “Specialised Didactics 3,” which focusses on reflection of school practices from an English-language didactical perspective. The Master's thesis will be written during the fourth semester.

The English degree programme component concludes with a 40-minute oral examination on topics from English or American linguistics and literature.
