  • In order to attend the Proseminar (202) or the Hauptseminar (203), you have to have passed the 'Introduction to Teaching English' (201)  (proof: relevant page of your Studienbuch or BOSS entry).
  • We strongly recommend taking your Proseminar (202) before your Hauptseminar (203).
  • There is a mistake in the Studienbuch: It is not obligatory to have passed the Bildungswissenschaften DiF-module before you take your ELT Hauptseminar (203)!
  • You will receive your final module signature from Prof. Dr. Susanne Ehrenreich by dropping your Studienbuch off in R 3.326 (Johanna Embacher). Further information can be found in our FAQs.

M8 Reading List Guidelines

  • For each seminar, include 8-10 publications:
    • 1 monograph or 1 edited volume
    • Plus 7-9 journal articles or book chapters (minimum length: 10 pages each)
    • Please make sure to include a good mix of research-based, theoretical/conceptual as well as  classroom-related texts.
  • How to find relevant literature:
    • Pls check the bibliographies and references of your seminars, these can be used as a main resource
    • Additional references can be included (optional)
  • Your reading list has to be discussed with both examiners, the final version has to be handed in by July 20, 2025, the latest. Should you miss this deadline, we’ll proceed in the exam without the specific focus of individual reading lists.
  • Your BOSS registration for the exam will be checked prior to the exam – without a registration, doing the exam will not be possible.
  • Pls bring your Studienbuch with you, so it can be signed immediately afterwards.
