Teaching in English

Internationalisation of teacher training at home: A blended learning programme on ILIAS

Abstract

Teaching in English is a newly developed programme preparing trainee teachers for school placements and internships abroad.
The content heavy didactic language course will be offered in a blended learning format on ILIAS to facilitate the provision of substantial course material, thus maximising the efficient use of teaching and learning time in the live sessions. This will be achieved by introducing flipped learning elements in the digital pre- & post- live session phases.
The range of additional features available on ILIAS allows for improved student collaboration and interaction as well as self-assessment and independent learning, which can be more effectively guided in the pre- and post- session phases. This should significantly improve students´  motivation and performance in terms of learning progression as well as overall achievement.
