Qualification Profile and Skills
The Secondary School Teacher Training Programme (General Education) qualifies its graduates as teachers in the selected subjects of general education / specializations for all secondary schools (Neue Mittelschule, Polytechnische Schule, Academic Secondary Schools, Intermediate and Higher Technical and Vocational Schools). This study programme also meets the requirements for teaching in intermediate and higher schools in the South Tyrol *. It consists of a Bachelor’s Programme and a subsequent Master’s Programme. It covers training in general education science, a pedagogical-practical training and a subject-specific and subject-didactic education in the two selected teaching subjects.
The graduates of a Teacher Training Programme in the subject of Spanish see it as their lifelong, extra-occupational task to deal with the countries and the people and in particular to visit and stay in the respective target countries, also after having completed their studies. The specialist training in the Bachelor’s programme in the subject of Spanish comprises the fields of literary science, linguistics, cultural studies and language comprehension. The students get an insight in the literary and cultural history, learn to critically interpret and analyse texts, are made familiar with the contents of linguistics and deal with social, political and historic aspects of the target countries.
The subject-didactic training aims at enabling the future language teachers to acquire a wide repertoire of methods to constructively and creatively design pupil-centred, action-oriented and communicative language lessons, based on the Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR) and the latest language acquisition, learning and assessment research. The didactic training is integrated into the "Innsbruck Model of Foreign Language Teacher Education (IMoF)", awarded with the European Language Label for innovative language projects. It offers language-overlapping modules and promotes good cooperation between the language subjects at schools already during the training.
* South Tyrolean teacher education students have to fulfil specific prerequisites, if they want to teach in South Tyrol. For information contact the Office for South Tyrolean Affairs.
