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.
