The second school internship offers you the opportunity to gain an in-depth insight into practical work as a French and/or Spanish teacher. Over the course of a semester, you will continuously accompany at least one learning group and increasingly take on your own teaching responsibilities. You will be able to test and further develop the didactic and practical language skills you have acquired so far in lesson sequences that you plan and carry out yourself. Throughout the internship, you will be supported by a school mentor as well as university supervision. A teaching experiment, which will be visited by the university mentor in your assigned school, will allow you to gain initial experience in dealing with classroom visits and the subsequent debriefing of your teaching experiment - similar to what will happen later in your traineeship.
The focus of the second internship is on foreign language didactics: You will learn how authentic language use can be promoted in the classroom, how communicative skills can be specifically developed and how intercultural learning processes can be stimulated. In the accompanying university seminar, you will reflect on your practical experience in an academically sound manner and deepen your knowledge of didactic topics in foreign language teaching.
