International Teacher Education

We believe that it is important to compare teacher education worldwide. In order to promote the exchange of ideas with internationally acknowledged experts in subject didactics and educational research, we aspire to internationalise our research across domains by focussing on topics of global relevance. In cooperation with our international partner universities, we aim to realise ample exchange possibilities for our students and lecturers.

One of our goals is to support the future teachers in getting to know German and International Schools abroad. Therefore, we created a worldwide network of 25 German and International Schools, where our students get the chance to do internships or school assistances. Within this network, we even connected with two national schools, an American school, the Twin Cities Immersion School in St. Paul (Minnesota), as well as a Danish school, the Marie Kruses Skole in Farum (Copenhagen). Further, we have a cooperation with another school in the US, the German International School Chicago.

In addition, we were able to offer teacher trainings in Singapore, Mexico and the US. The main topics were the implementation of Co-Teaching and language sensitive subject lessons.

"Here we are - one of the top universities of Germany. Our own department, the Institute of English and American studies is well known for international research and has an excellent reputation for teacher training!"

If you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact Mr. Haenssig of the ABL, or Ms. Veneziano-Osterrath of the Institute for English and American Studies (IEAS), who both coordinate cooperations with schools abroad.

We are looking forward to a lovely cooperation.
