Researcher Bachelor by choice as
Bachelor Education subject for
Francoromance Studies comprise academic studies of the languages, literatures and cultures of French-speaking countries. Besides France, these include several other countries spread over four continents, where French is the official language, language of communication, or spoken by an important minority.
Students should note that combinations of subjects vary according to the school category(elementary/secondary).
The field recommends to combine the main subject with
General qualification for university entrance or specific higher education entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur, Einstufungsprüfung).
French B1
Students choose between three courses:
Profilfach (major course), Komplementärfach (minor course) or Lehramtsoption (teacher-training course).
The program imparts foundation knowledge in the disciplines of linguistics, literary science and area studies.
The main focus of the program thus lies on the French language, including its different national and regional variants, past and present French language and literatures, as well as the history and cultures of France and the Francophone countries.
Furthermore, French writing and spoken language skills are systematically trained in special language courses. These comprise approx. one quarter of the studies.
Description of the modules.
Students choose between three courses:
Profilfach (major course), Komplementärfach (minor course) or Lehramtsoption (teacher-training course).
In the Profilfach the students specialize in the French scientific disciplines or study another Romance language (Spanish, Portuguese or Italian).
In the teacher training course (French didactics) the program runs as follows:
FD1 Basic module French didactics (4th semester)
In this module the theoretical foundations of the communicative foreign language classes are introduced. Subject of discussion are functional-, communicative, intercultural and methodological competences as well as language devices.
The module FD2 ("Aufbaumodul") French didactics (5th semester) as well as a practical phase in the context of a didactical school-internship.
In allen Veranstaltungen des Studiengangs wird auf die Vermittlung der Schlüsselqualifikationen Recherchieren, effiziente Benutzung traditioneller und elektronischer Hilfsmittel, mündliche Präsentationstechniken, differenzierter Gebrauch der Muttersprache Deutsch, Problemanalyse und Problemlösung sowie Urteils- und Argumentationsfähigkeit geachtet.
Darüber hinaus stehen den Profilfachstudierenden aber auch zahlreiche Angebote im Bereich der General Studies offen. Darunter die Möglichkeit ein Betriebspraktikum im Umfang von 8 Wochen zu absolvieren, Lehrerfahrung im Rahmen eines eigenständig durchgeführten Tutoriums für jüngere Studierende zu sammeln sowie eine weitere romanische Sprache zu lernen (z.B. Italienisch, Portugiesisch oder Spanisch).
In Erziehungswissenschaft werden allgemeine erziehungswissenschaftliche sowie schulpädagogisch-didaktische Grundlagen vermittelt. Damit verbunden ist das Orientierungspraktikum: Es dient dazu, erste pädagogische und unterrichtspraktische Erfahrungen in einem schulischen Kontext zu sammeln und so die eigene pädagogische Eignung und Neigung zu überprüfen. Im Bereich der Schlüsselqualifikationen werden fachübergreifende berufsbezogene Kompetenzen vermittelt, beispielsweise Methoden- und Kommunikationskompetenz. Pflicht innerhalb der Schlüsselqualifikationen ist an der Uni Bremen der „Umgang mit heterogenen Lerngruppen“. Je nach angestrebtem Schultyp entfallen 13-23% des Bachelorstudiums auf diesen Bereich.
Teaching practice for students of the teacher-traning course.
Students of the Profilfach must undertake a compulsory work placement, preferably abroad. It is possible to also undertake a second work placement, which will also count as a study credit.
It is compulsory for student majors to complete a six month course of studies abroad. Students studying two foreign languages can complete in one of their two subjects an optional 4 month period abroad (which can be divided in max. 4 parts)
School-internships abroad will be credited.
It is recommended that students undertake the semester abroad in their 3rd semester.
Career opportunities exist in professional academic areas such as in the educational sector, publishing, librarianship, the media, in cultural fields, international organisations, the diplomatic service and private foundations.
To acquire the qualification to teach at state schools, students must subsequently obtain a Master of Education postgraduate degree (M.Ed). This has to be followed by an 18-month period of practice teaching in school, which ends with the second state exam for teachers in Germany.
