The programme for future teachers of German, Dutch and English is centred on language proficiency, the didactics of language teaching (Dutch-English), mastery of cultural topics and pedagogy. The specifics of each year’s programme provide a balance between these 4 aspects, ensuring that students develop into independent professionals.
