Short Description

The subject Spanish is offered as one of two subjects within the Master’s Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools.

Spanish is the fourth most commonly spoken language in the world, spoken by some 450 million people across four continents. After completing the preparatory phase of teacher training at a school, those who study the subject of Spanish Studies in the Master’s Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools (Master LG) may teach this language as well as Spanish literature and culture at a German school. Four semesters is the standard period of study for the Master’s Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools. Spanish Studies can be taken as a first or second subject. Students require a Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent qualification in the subjects to be taken at Master’s level to be admitted to the Master’s Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools. The Ordinance on Master’s Degrees for Teacher Training in Lower Saxony (Nds. MasterVO-Lehr) specifies provisions relating to subject combinations that must be observed.

Those who study Spanish Studies examine the linguistics, literature and culture of the Spanish-speaking world. In addition to these three core areas, students also learn teaching methodology. They also develop their language skills to university level.

Education sciences play a major role in the Master’s degree programme. In this area, students learn aspects relating to education science and psychology, which are important in the teaching profession.
