ERGOB1070 Teknologi og samfunn Emneplan

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.
