Students become acquainted with the structure of study programs and the goal setting of studies in their field. The aim is for the student teacher to be able to plan and prepare a course with a course description and learning outcomes with a connection to the learning level of learning, key skills and the basic elements of the education. Emphasis is placed on the growing demand in learning outcomes of Compulsory and Upper Secondary school level towards specialization with further studies in mind or participation in the business life of subjects that fall under arts and design. Assignments in the course are integrated with the practical training. Within the course students receive training in teaching and interacting with students and an introduction to school culture and working procedures. Each student is allotted a secondary school where they spend an allocated time under supervision during both autumn and spring terms. The training is connected to the course Introduction to Teaching and Learning so these courses should be taken simultaneously.

The aim of the course is to give students an insight into main theories and research of learning and teaching (Icelandic and international). Main topics of the course are theories and research on learning and teaching, teachers' professionalism, teaching methods, and assessment.

The main field of work for graduates will be in upper secondary school, and this fact will determine the selection of learning tasks.

The training is connected to the course Curriculum and School Development in Secondary Schools and these two courses should be taken simultaneously.

This course is about curriculum theory and educational policy with emphasis on the curriculum, student body and school development in Icelandic upper secondary schools.

Assignments are designed to enable students to work as professionals on the development of school practice, curricula, and policies.

MA-thesis in Danish teaching.

Theories of "interlanguage" will be discussed. Students are introduced to error analysis and what indications errors and student language usage can give on the language learning process. Linquistic, social, psychological and educational variables which influence language learning and language capability will also be examined. Students will be given the opportunity of examining the language learning process more closely through their own investigation of written and oral language of pupils studying Danish in Icelandic schools.

This course is theoretical as well as practical. Students refresh important rules in Danish language, language use and stylistics. They analyse how different types of texts have different purpose of communication. Emphasis will be on the students' writing skills in Danish language and their training in use of theoretical as well as practical aids.

MA-thesis in Danish teaching.

This course treats theories and research about teaching Danish as a foreign language, for instance the four skills and theories about language use and grammar. Important subjects which will be discussed are communication as a premise for learning a foreign language and the use of new technologies. We will also focus on new theories about vocabulary and vocabulary learning and on how it is possible to apply these theories to connect on the one side reading and listening, and on the other side the oral and written language. The students present theories about literary reading and cultural communication in language teaching.

The aim of this course is to give students a good overview of the historical, political and cultural development in Danish governance through the 20. century till now – from absolutism to representative democracy. The course will among other things be devoted to the Danish welfare model and the democratic safety net in light of the state finances, geography, demography and religion, the Danish labour market, the political system, the healthcare and educational system, Denmark’s international relations and general tendencies in Danish society. Students will make presentations during the semester and the course is closed with a written home assignment.

Students learn about and practice various methods that are used in the classroom developing writing skills. The course is meant to be a supplement to "Linguistics and writing" where students get the opportunity to use their knowledge and transfer what they have learnt to teaching environment.

When compiling study materials for language teaching/learning, it is necessary to consider many factors, some of which do not seem to be important at first glance. The same applies when choosing study materials for language teaching/learning.

The course will look at various aspects that are important in the preparation of study materials, and how these aspects have been covered over time. Which factors have the greatest influence on the quality and usefulness of study materials in modern schools? What are the effects authors of study materials have?

We will work with elements such as study materials, text, pictures, sound, digital material, input, level of weight, teaching or user instructions and assignments/subjects.

Theories concerning language vision, language acquisition, teaching and learning methods, cultural and environmental aspects will be discussed. The role of teachers/students in the classroom/learning space will also be linked to the selection and use of study materials. Furthermore, it will be entered practical learning, autonomy in learning, individualized learning, collaboration in learning – and not to mention goals of the study, satisfaction factor, student activity and motivation.
