Project: "Diversity Matters: Workshops on Diversity at IGS Celle"
Our project involves designing and implementing a series of workshops focused on "diversity" at IGS Celle. As part of our ongoing block seminar, participants will have the unique opportunity to contribute to this multifaceted initiative in August 2024. By collaborating directly with learners on-site, participants will refine their teaching concepts, receive theoretical insights, and undergo practical reality checks. It's an immersive experience that promises professional as well personal growth and meaningful contributions to diversity education.
Student experience report:
The seminar DidA: Diversity Matters – Designing and implementing workshops on diversity at IGS Celle enabled the conceptualization as well as the implementation of a self-designed workshop during two project days with a group of students from IGS Celle. The project days at the school provided insights into everyday school life and the diverse work with adolescents and children. In this way, participants were able to gain experience, try out different methods, and develop their own teaching personalities. Working in three different groups, the students developed workshops on diversity-related topics for pupils from different year groups and all achieved successful results. Overall, this brief impression of everyday school life offered exciting work with pupils and the implementation of a workshop that had been planned long in advance.
Elena Klaric, M.Ed.: Content and Language Integrated Learning im Fach Chemie –Eine fallbasierte Interventionsstudie zur Förderung der mündlichen Sachfachliteralität (Content and Language Integrated Learning in Chemistry – A case-based intervention study to promote oral subject-specific literacy)
Doctoral project supervised by Prof. Dr. Philipp Siepmann, Prof. Dr. Gabriele Blell (ret., English Language Education), and Prof. Dr. Andreas Nehring (Chemistry Education)
The doctoral project investigates the promotion of oral subject-specific literacy in CLIL chemistry classes using a context-specific case study. Following a needs analysis, a targeted intervention aimed at fostering students’ oral discourse competences in both academic and subject-specific foreign language contexts is implemented and tested. Data are collected through audio recordings of students as they speak about hypotheses, experimental observations, and explanations, and are analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods.

Cooperation with Purdue University, Indiana
Our English Didactics Department, the Leibniz School of Education, and Purdue University (USA, Indiana) strive to establish a long-term partnership. Our objective is to provide transnational and -cultural impulses for future teacher education. This project aims at creating awareness and broadening horizons to become culturally consonant and sensitive (language) teachers. An annual cooperative online seminar with LUH and Purdue students and instructors is currently being planned.
UPDATE: Temporary Postponement of our Cooperation with Purdue University
We regret to inform you that, until further notice, our collaboration with Purdue University must be temporarily postponed due to a shortage of staff. As soon as the didactics professorship is reliably re-staffed, we will promptly resume our cooperation with Purdue University. We sincerely appreciate the understanding and patience of our valued cooperation partners and students during this temporary interruption.
