International experience is of high importance for student teachers of English because they often teach in culturally diverse learning groups and, as foreign language teachers, also take on the role of 'cultural mediators': In our society, which is characterized by migration, cultural diversity and globalization, it is important that secondary school students develop communicative and intercultural competences in foreign language teaching, which enable them to communicate interculturally and to assume responsibility as 'global citizens'. In order to support and monitor such educational processes, foreign language teachers themselves must possess (inter-/trans-)cultural competences. Learning across national borders can be an essential key for students to understand and reflect perspectives and patterns in the perception of global phenomena and thus further develop their '(inter-/trans-) cultural competence’.
Therefore, in this project seminar we will exchange ideas on the subject of forced displacement and migration with international partners from South Africa, USA, and Mexico. This topic is of global importance and, due to a number of different migration movements (e.g. Africa, Europe, Central America) it is currently also very much present in national discourses. The special value resulting from the international discussion in the planned project seminar with students from the respective countries is the possibility to view the phenomena of forced displacement and migration from different perspectives.
Questions like the following allow for discussing and reflecting the topic with our international partners:
