Teacher Traineeships / Unterrichtspraktikum
In most semesters, students from German speaking countries are guests of our School. As part of their studies in Germanistik or Deutsch als Fremdsprache , they do a semester of teacher training ( Praktikum ) with us. Under the supervision of teaching staff, those students observe and discuss language classes at all levels and are being introduced into tertiary German teaching by team teaching and supervised teaching in a particular language course they become familiar with over the course of the semester.
Our Melbourne students enjoy the opportunity to meet their native speaker peers and work together with them in grammar and conversation classes. Often, trainees have been involved in the social activities of the School such as Stammtische , Germanic Players and the German Club.
Due to the teacher training program, which by all accounts is mutually beneficial and enjoyable for Melbourne students and their European colleagues, a number of lasting trans-continental friendships have been initiated.
The traineeship program is co-ordinated by Leo Kretzenbacher.
