SVEB/EUROLTA Certificate, Trainer (Languages), AdA ZA-DL January-June

Conducting teaching courses with groups of adults in the field of foreign languages

For course leaders of DaF/DaZ courses as well as French, Italian, English and Spanish as a foreign language who have a SVEB certificate or can prove that they have attended an SVEB certificate course (AdA-FA-M1, or AdA-ZA-DL)

With this course you will acquire the methodological and didactic basics in order to be able to plan, conduct and evaluate language courses successfully. You will learn how to design teaching units in a varied and participant-oriented manner. You will receive practical input on planning and learning goal controls and on the use of a wide variety of methods. You will deal with key aspects of evaluating teaching sequences and reflect on your own behavior.

Thanks to the division of the course days into face-to-face and online days (in the virtual classroom), you will acquire both analog and digital skills and after the course you will be able to teach in both settings in a participant-friendly and varied way.

Only with Flying Teachers: You teach at least 2 supervised practice lessons and can immediately implement, try out and practice what you have learned. To gain practice in the online and face-to-face setting, you teach the first lesson in the virtual classroom with a teaching aid on a given topic (German as a foreign language) and the second lesson in person on a language topic of your choice. You are observed and receive feedback from your colleagues and your course leader - practical relevance from the first minute!

Self-study: The self-study, which takes an average of 165 hours, includes the following tasks and content:

• Planning and preparation of two supervised practice lessons

• Planning and preparation of the proof of competence (practical demonstration)

• Keeping a learning diary
