Foreign Languages and Internationalisation at a University of Education in Germany

  • Peter Dines Ludwigsburg University of Education,

Abstract

As my title suggests, the aim of this article is to give interested readers an insight into the ways in which advanced foreign language studies are taught at Ludwigsburg University of Education (LUE), Baden-Württemberg, Germany and how this links up with the policy of internationalisation which has been developed by the university over the past 15 years or so. It is my hope that our attempts to address the challenges of teacher education and training maybe of some use to readers of this journal and possibly lead to a discussion of the issues at hand with interested parties – a discussion to which we at Ludwigsburg are more than willing to engage in, especially in view of the changes to the system of teacher education currently being prepared by the government of the state of Baden-Württemberg
