Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to correlate the theoretical knowledge gained so far in the didactics of German as a foreign language and the experience gained from the hospitalizations and own teaching during the students' teaching practice. In addition, learners will become familiar with some new alternative methods and techniques used in foreign language teaching. In developing the concept of a specific German lesson, the choice of appropriate methods, strategies and techniques will be discussed. In the course, learners develop competences related to the subject area (area 1), to lesson planning (area 2), to the learning environment (area 3), to feedback and assessment (area 4) and to professional self-concept, ethical development and mental health (area 6) - see above for the specific competences developed in the course of the Teacher Graduate Competence Framework.

Prerequisites
Active participation in face-to-face classes, completion of assigned tasks, outputs in the form of microteaching sessions, preparation of presentations and reports on assigned topics, development of a lesson plan concept, and optionally passing a credit test.
