Internationalisation of Teacher Education

Advanced teacher trainings

For German and International schools abroad

Andreas Hänssig, the contact person in the area of international teacher education from the ABL, regularly offers interesting teacher trainings.

These workshops deal with various topics: Predominantly, they are meant to guide teachers to collaboratively work with the students from the Goethe-University, who are planning and completing their internships at the respective school abroad. Furthermore, the workshop aims to explain co-teaching-methods and forms of implementation are imparted practically. Another important aspect of these trainings is to become familiar with chances and challenges of language-sensitive subject teaching. Andreas Hänssig supports this process in providing expedient methods for interacting with heterogenous learning groups.
