Do you have a sense of what the Bachelor’s study program in French Teaching Qualification entails?

Statement 1 / 5

The French Teaching Qualification Bachelor's program teaches me French.

This statement is largely false

No! Excellent French language skills are a prerequisite for the French Teaching Qualification. Your language level should correspond to B2, i.e. you should have attended French classes for at least 5 years. The language skills acquired at school are then deepened and refined in the relevant courses during your university studies.

Statement 2 / 5

The study program places strong emphasis on gaining practical language experience. French is spoken and read a lot, and attending grammar and vocabulary courses is a mandatory requirement.

This statement is largely false

Language practice plays a major role in the course, but is nevertheless only one component of the French Teaching Qualification. In addition to language practice modules, you will also attend courses in linguistics, literary studies, cultural studies, and subject didactics.

» Analysis

It's your choice

0 out of 5 of your expectations turned out to be fairly accurate.

The goal here wasn’t to answer everything correctly, but to gain a better understanding of the study program. You now need to determine whether your understanding of the study program is accurate or where you need more information.

My skills

Solid knowledge of French, both spoken and written. This is because the course does not involve learning the French language, but builds on your existing skills. It deals with the academic study of language and literature.
Enjoyment in conveying content in a structured and understandable way – both in writing and orally in front of an audience. This is because during your studies, you will repeatedly have to deliver presentations and submit assignments (longer written submissions).
A willingness to spend time abroad to improve your language skills.

My interests

Your studies will focus on intensive study of the French language. Therefore, you should enjoy

reading a lot,
writing,
discussing
and analyzing.

This is because the analysis of scientific texts and language data is of great importance. This also includes enthusiasm for critical reflection on literary, cultural, and linguistic contexts.
