As a language coach from the Faculty of Humanities and Education, you support your international fellow students in improving their language skills. At the same time, you collect valuable didactic experiences.
With your dedication, you contribute to your international fellow students' success in their studies. You promote the linguistic self-confidence of your fellow students and deepen their existing language skills.
How do you do this? By planning interactive lessons or activities as a language coach and thus applying the skills you have aquired through your studies in practice. Additionally, you will create international ties and dare to look beyond your own nose - because your international peers come from a wide range of different degree programmes.
Furthermore, your efforts strengthen the sense of community at TU Braunschweig, because the S.o.S. programme was created at TU Braunschweig and has an impact on the entire university - with many benefits for all who are involved in it.
Students of Faculty 6 can partake in the S.o.S. programme either as part of the practical phase of the DaF/DaZ study programme [website only in German] or as Service Learning Project in the profile module of the Master's (PMA) [website only in German]. Your tasks as a language coach are dependent on the module in which you would like to enrol in the S.o.S. programme:
Register for the Stud.IP course "S.o.S Studieren ohne Sprachbarrieren für Sprachcoaches".
In Stud.IP, you then enter the topic of your tutorial or your activity which you would like to offer next semester.
Registration is now possible.
Attention: Make sure that your chosen practical seminar (D3a) as part of the study programme DaF/DaZ cooperates with the S.o.S. project.
The allocation of the groups and the organisational arrangements of the S.o.S. programme take place in Stud.IP. After the language coaches have entered their offers, the international students can register in the group of their choice.
You take on the role of a language role model and cultural guide, and give your international peers the opportunity to solidify language skills they have already acquired and to gain confidence in speaking.

The S.o.S. team support and accompanies you during your occupation as language coach and gives tips for intercultural challenges and for designing your tutorials. In a feedback meeting you can exchange ideas with fellow language coaches.
The following dates are mandatory for all language coaches:
Joint matching meeting of all language coaches and international students to allocate groups on Tuesday, 12 November 2024 at 19:00 in the Foyer of the E-Tower (Hans-Sommer-Str.66, ground floor left)
Your experiences are important and valuable for the constant improvement of the S.o.S. programme. At the same time, you have the chance at the feedback meeting to exchange ideas and experiences with other language coaches and to receive feedback on your own didactic methods.
Closing event with all language coaches and international students on Tuesday, 28 January 2025 at 18:30 in the Foyer of the E-Tower (Hans-Sommer-Str.66, ground floor left)
