Details
The subject Slavic Studies deals with the languages, cultures and literature of the Slavic speaking regions. The content and objectives of the programme for a teaching profession for Russian are especially (a) acquiring extensive active and passive language competence in Russian; (b) acquiring cultural knowledge on Eastern Europe and on the cultural network of this region with the rest of Europe, (c) acquiring the capability to prepare and convey information from the Slavic speaking region (especially Russian speaking region) as well as linguistic and literary knowledge of Russian under pedagogical and didactical aspects of teaching at Gymnasium, (d) acquiring extensive knowledge on the structure and history of Russian as well as on Russian culture and literature.
The subject Slavic Studies is represented in Göttingen by a chair for literary science as well as one for linguistics. In both areas, the main research topics are connected with synchronic, historical - and not only inner slavistic - comparative issues.
Graduates of the Bachelor subject "Russian for a teaching profession" should acquire a high level of competence in the Russian language, suitable for teaching Russian. Objective of the language training is the level B2, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
The possible combination of subjects for a teaching profession is regulated by the programme regulation. Generally, the subject Russian can be combined with the following languages offered in Göttingen: German, English, French, Spanish, Latin and Mathematics.
In connection with the consecutive programme Master of Education (M.Ed.), the programme Russian (B.A.) (two subjects/ teaching profession) qualifies graduates in particular for a teaching position for Russian at the Gymnasium.
