MGDE6200 The Teaching of German as a Foreign Language in Norwegian Secondary Education Course description

Studentens læringsutbytte vil vurderes i henhold til en prosjektrapport på 30-40 sider.

Kandidater som ikke består ordinær eksamen, kan levere en omarbeidet versjon ved ny/utsatt eksamen.

Bestått/ Ikke besått.

Det benyttes en intern og en ekstern sensor til sensurering av oppgavene.

The following coursework requirements must be approved of before the student can take the exam:

1. 80 % attendance and participation in face-to-face weeks and virtual sessions.
2. Completion of the required weekly tasks on the digital learning platform every week during the 12 weeks of the course. Preparation, attendance and presentation will be 3 hours on average per week. This may consist of e.g. answering questions after reading the required texts, watching short videos, attending online presentations, writing of wikis, participation in forums, writing a group glossary, reflecting on one’s own learning process, taking tests and quizzes etc. The purpose of all assignments is to actively participate in the course, to provide opportunity to interact and share experience and ideas with other members and also use the German language in context and thus improve one’s own language skills. The completion of the weekly assignments is compulsory, and all weekly assignments must be completed before taking the exam. The weekly tasks will be announced one week in advance.
3. In addition a digital portfolio has to be produced out of these obligatory assignments.

The coursework requirements may be revised once if the first version is not approved. See also point 8 in the programme description for further information.

The final individual assessment consists of two parts, each counting 50 % of the grade. Both parts must be passed to get the final grade.

1. The written part of the final examination consists of selected material from the digital portfolio (2000-3000 words). In addition, the student reflects in German on his/her learning process and discusses the assignments compiled in the portfolio (300-500 words).
2. The oral part consists of a conversation (15 minutes) in German on a topic discussed in course 2.

New/postponed exam

The resit/rescheduled exam is organised in the same way as the ordinary exam. Only the part of the exam that is not passed must be resit.

Examination support material is permitted in part 1 of the exam.

A grading scale with A being the highest and E the poorest pass grade is used. The grade F means that the student has failed the exam.

There will be two internal examinators. An external programme supervisor will be used in accordance with the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet.
