During the programme
You learn what it is to be a teacher and how to teach Spanish language and literature to young people, with a work placement at a training school from year one.
Teacher Education in Spanish covers 3 components:
- The Spanish Language – Grammar, Phonetics, Literature, Culture and Linguistics
- Methodological Practice – How to teach a 2nd language through the communicative approach.
- Pedagogical Practice – the essence of being a teacher, connecting to your students, child development psychology and working in a multi-cultural environment.
As part of these components you will also do a 3,5-year internship and engage in practical research at your internship school.
Content of the Teacher Education in Spanish
Many of your classes will be taught in Spanish, so your fluency and understanding of the language will increase quickly. From early on you'll know what it's like to be a teacher, as you will be in front of a classroom from February onwards!
By now, you've found out what kind of teacher you want to be and which school type suits you. You teach one day a week and study teaching methodology. By the end of year 2, you choose at which Dutch school type you want to teach.
From year 3, you spend two days a week in front of the classroom. You learn about language learning in practice and how you can help your students master the Spanish language.
Your final year focuses on completing your degree. About half of your time is spent doing an internship at a Dutch secondary school, where you teach your own classes and undertake a research project for the school, supported by us and your school supervisor. The other semester is free for you to fill in, for instance by doing a minor.
Are you dealing with an auditory, visual or physical impairment, chronic illness, psychological vulnerability or neurodiversity such as dyslexia, ADD, ADHD or ASD? Or do you experience challenges due to (informal) care duties or family circumstances? At HU, you can count on appropriate support. Together, we will ensure that you can continue your studies successfully.
