Studies and Courses

An important topic at the University of Hildesheim is internationalisation. In addition to research and administration and management, the focus here lies on the internationalisation of studies and teaching. Specifically, this involves the following:

• Increasing the mobility of Hildesheim students
• Internationalisation of the teacher training programme
• Expansion of international teaching.

This is where the project 'TRANSLANG - Translanguaging in the International Teacher Training' comes in. We do not only want to increase the number of the outgoing teacher training students, but also the number of international students (incoming students) who come to Hildesheim for a study visit.

In addition, transnational workshops with international academics are planned. Some seminars in the M.Ed. programme will also be opened up for more exchange: for example, the international project band TRANSLANG will start this winter semester. In the seminar, Hildesheim teacher training students deal with the topic of (migration-related) multilingualism and translanguaging and exchange their views with students from the cooperating universities.

Prof. Montanari and Dr. Vernal Schmidt have already been able to gain valuable experience in the project 'ForM - Research Methods on Multilingualism' in the context of joint (digital) seminar sessions with lecturers and students from the Ain Shams University in Cairo.
