The Teaching of German as a Foreign Language in Norwegian Secondary Education is a blended learning course with digital learning combined with two periods of campus training one in Oslo and one at Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg, Germany. 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 weekly virtual sessions in language learning as well as sessions in linguistics and didactics All the sessions will take place on the platform Dhoch3 (DAAD).

There will be weekly exercises to be completed online as well as the opportunity to interact with other group members and teachers on the platform.

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.
