Introduction
German 1 (30 ECTS credits) consists of two courses:
Course 1 German Language Structure and Acquisition (15 ECTS credits) and
Course 2 The Teaching of German as a Foreign Language in Norwegian Secondary Education (15 ECTS credits).
-
Target group
In this course, the student’s own language skills are emphasised, in particular oral production and interaction, language in context, and language learning strategies. In addition, the student should be able to facilitate the language learning of children and young people.
The German language teacher is a reflective language user and language disseminator. By analysing and assessing learning and communication strategies for his/her own language use and in a teacher perspective, the students shall reach a level where they can actively use German in both oral and written communication. The German teacher shall have an awareness of his/her own language abilities, and children and young people’s language learning, insight into the differences and similarities between German, Norwegian and other languages. The course provides knowledge of linguistic and cultural variation in the German speaking countries. Inspiring and encouraging pupils to take pleasure in being able to use a new language through experiences and exploration is another important aspect. Digital tools shall be included in the education in a critical and reflective manner, and shall be linked to teaching practice.

Learning outcomes
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.
