Admission requirements

German 1 is a blended learning course with digital learning combined with three periods of campus training at OsloMet and two at Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg, Germany. Each of the two semesters is structured in an initial face-to-face session in Oslo, later followed by a week of training in Germany. In the spring semester there is in addition a final session in Oslo. Between the face-to-face sessions, there will be online training, with self-paced modules accompanied by regular virtual meetings with teachers and other group members.

There will be tandems in language learning but also in teacher training. Language learning will be accompanied by tandem partners either in Norway or in Germany with a minimum of 1 hour of tandem meetings weekly, through Skype or in person. We will work from a communicative approach giving priority to the acquisition of skills which also can be applied in the own teaching of German as a second/third language. We will employ a mixed methodology (classroom and online) through the creation of a virtual space in a networked platform.

The preparation of microteachings, short teaching sequences of a chosen topic, will be discussed and evaluated by peers, coaches and the learners – this will take place online. There will be the possibility to prepare and practice in Skype sessions with other participants of the program as well as a self-observation of recorded teachings or microteachings from the practical training in Freiburg.

Tasks and assessments will be carried out from different methodological approaches that students can subsequently apply in their daily teaching.

The use of digital and interactive resources will be provided by Dhoch3, an online platform designed for German Teacher Training at universities worldwide, sponsored by the Auswärtiges Amt (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and the DAAD. The access to the learning resources will be given and guaranteed by OsloMet and Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg.

Content and structure

For both courses in German 1 students will be asked to carry out different tasks (both face-to-face and online), that must be approved prior to the final exams that will take place in Norway at the end of each course. There is an 80 % attendance requirement for each course in both face-to-face weeks and virtual sessions. Attendance is compulsory because of the work methods involving dialogue and discussions. The programme emphasizes student participation, cooperative learning and dialogue.

The coursework requirements are described in the individual course descriptions. All absence, irrespective of reason, is included when compulsory attendance is approved. In special cases where this requirement is unreasonable in relation to the student, documented sickness absence, for example, can be assessed and compensatory measures can be agreed, if applicable.

The required coursework must be submitted/completed by the stipulated deadlines. Absence for a valid reason documented by e.g. a medical certificate does not exempt students from meeting the coursework requirements. Students who fail to submit/meet the coursework requirements by the deadline due to illness or for other documented valid reasons can be given an extended deadline.

A new deadline for submitting/completing required coursework must be agreed with the lecturer in question in each individual case. Absence in excess of the limit may be made up for by a written assignment by agreement with the person responsible for the course.

The required coursework is assessed as accepted/not accepted. Students who submit required coursework/meet the coursework requirements by the deadline, but whose work is assessed as not accepted, will be given two opportunities to resubmit/redo the work. In such cases, the students themselves must agree with the lecturer on a re-assessment of the coursework in question.

Rights and obligations in connection with exams

The students’ rights and obligations are set out in the Regulations Relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet. The regulations describe, among other things, the conditions for resit/rescheduled exams, the right to appeal and what is considered cheating in an exam. It is the students’/candidate’s responsibility to register for any resit/rescheduled exams.

Assessment

Fagområdet energi og miljø i bygg er internasjonalt, og utdannede mastergradskandidater skal være kvalifisert for å jobbe internasjonalt - eller i ett internasjonalt arbeidsmiljø i Norge. Masterstudiet skal bidra til å øke studentenes kompetanse til å forstå internasjonale forhold som berører de temaene som studiet omfatter.

Deler av masterstudiet kan gjennomføres internasjonalt gjennom samarbeid med utenlandske utdanningssteder. Studenter kan søke studier i utlandet på eget initiativ, men de som ønsker å ta et semester i utlandet bør gjøre dette i samråd med studieadministrasjonen. Utveksling godkjennes av instituttleder etter individuell søknad i samsvar med gjeldende programplan. ERASMUS+ er et eksempel på utvekslingsordninger som kan være relevante ved planlegging og gjennomføring av studentutveksling. OsloMet har egen temaside med supplerende informasjon. Krav, prinsipper og råd på websiden er skrevet for bachelor utdanninger, men vil i stor grad også være relevant for masterutdanninger.

Det vil ved behov legges til rette for undervisning og litteratur på engelsk for innreisende utvekslingsstudenter. Enkelte normer og forskrifter beregnet på forhold i Norge foreligger kun på norsk.

Other information

For the two courses that are included in Spanish 2, students will be asked to carry out different tasks (both face-to-face and online), that will be used as an element of evaluation of the work done, prior to the final exams that will take place in Norway at the end of each course. There is an 80 % attendance requirement for each course in both face-to-face weeks and online sessions. Attendance is compulsory because of the work methods involving dialogue and discussions.
