Overview
Overview
The main academic content focus of the English program at University of Bonn is on English linguistics and communication, North American studies as well as British and post-colonial literary and cultural studies.
While students in the bachelor's degree program focus on gaining subject-specific knowledge, the Master of Education degree program puts a stronger emphasis on educational sciences and subject didactics. The modules on subject didactics cover didactic theories, strategies and methods of teaching English. Students gather expertise in active learning methods as well as approaches and teaching techniques from the areas of language didactics, literary and cultural didactics as well as media didactics.
In teaching degree programs for grammar and comprehensive schools, students choose two school subjects. Thus, in addition to English, students are enrolled for a second subject as well as educational sciences.
The practical semester is a key component of the degree program.
