Looking Back on a Successful Information and Exchange Event
On January 26, 2026, another information and exchange event on the teacher traineeship (Referendariat) for English teachers took place in cooperation with Hanover's Seminar II. We would like to thank the subject coordinator, Ms. Celia Ball, and her dedicated English trainee teachers, including several former English teacher education students from our university, for their openness and for sharing valuable insights into the second phase of teacher training.
The event was very well attended, and all participants found the exchange to be extremely enriching. Many thanks to everyone involved for this inspiring opportunity for dialogue!
New Appointment to Our Professorship
We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Philipp Siepmann as the new professor and head of the department from the winter semester 2025/2026 onwards. We look forward with great anticipation to a trusting and fruitful collaboration!
At the same time, we bid farewell to Dr. Pascal Hohaus and thank him for the productive cooperation during the summer semester 2025.
Notice on Attendance Policy in the Field of English Language Education
Regular attendance is mandatory in all English Language Education courses. The development of subject-specific, pedagogical, methodological, and reflective competences requires continuous and active participation. Attendance is essential for constructive discussions with instructors and peers, as well as for the successful completion of course and examination credit. Absences must be communicated in advance. From the third missed session onward, a valid reason supported by appropriate documentation is required to avoid exclusion from the course.
