S.o.S for languages coaches

• Go to Stud.IP to the course "S.o.S Studieren ohne Sprachbarrieren für Sprachcoaches".

To Stud.IP

• Then enter the course (lecture / seminar / lab etc.) in Stud.IP in which you would like to become active as a coach. You can enter up to three courses.
• Ideally, you offer support as a language coach in the courses you are attending in the current semester in order to strengthen the joint learning experience. However, you can also list courses that you have already taken in previous semesters.
• Students of Faculty 6 enter the topic of the study-related or general language learning group they want to offer in the next semester here.

• Choose a suitable date in Stud.IP for the two-part preparation course. Participation is compulsory for all language coaches.
• In the preparation courses your intercultural skills are trained. In addition, you will be sensitised to linguistic and technical language challenges and receive organisational tips on how to lead your learning groups and how to run the S.o.S. programme.

• After the preparatory courses, the learning groups are activated in the Stud.IP event. The learning groups bear the title of the course in which you would like to offer a learning group.

• The international students can select a suitable learning group on the basis of the title. The group size should ideally be between 2 and 5 participants.

• Once the learning groups are finalised, you organise the learning meetings.

• At the end of each learning group meeting, you must write a short report.

• Approximately six to eight weeks after the start of the learning group meetings, all language coaches meet in a feedback workshop to exchange experiences with each other and with the staff of the S.o.S. programme in order to reflect on the experiences made and to further improve their own coaching skills.
• Participation in the feedback workshop is compulsory for all language coaches.

• If you successfully complete the learning groups, you will receive four credits in the interdisciplinary professionalisation area. Four detailed protocols of ten learning meetings serve as proof. In addition, the staff of the S.o.S. programme observe the learning units at irregular intervals.
• At the end of the semester, all international students and language coaches will meet for a big closing event.
