Student exchanges have the potential to be intense experiences of cultural learning with English often being the lingua franca of these encounters. To make the most of this potential, future language teachers should experience and reflect on how to prepare, conduct and evaluate exchanges in the English classroom. Based on different theories of cultural learning and insights into research on (virtual) exchanges, this course offers the chance to apply these theories to a specific practice: The course draws on a collaboration with the Laborschule Bielefeld, researching and developing their exchange with two Czech groups from Brno and Prague.
Note: On the basis of the course and only as an option (not a requirement), individual students can accompany the exchange trip (taking place in May 2025) to Brno and Prague for which they can gain parts of the credits for their 23-ANG-IntKom (formerly 23-ANG-Int und 23-ANG-IntH_a).

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
To gain study credits, you will develop material supporting the different stages of an exchange at the Laborschule Bielefeld. Exam credits can be gained with oral exams or project/module papers reflecting on theories and practice of cultural exchange.
