DAAD promotes German Language Teaching in Australia
DAAD Lectureship and Teaching Assistant Program
The DAAD supports around 400 DAAD-Lecturers worldwide. Their teaching expertise is mainly in German language, German studies and related disciplines. However, in select instances, their specialisation also encompasses German law, politics, and history. At present, three lecturers in Australia are funded by the DAAD to enhance Germany's global reputation as a hub for academic study and research. Their activities are supported by DAAD teaching assistants who are also funded by the DAAD. A special scholarship provides the assistants with the opportunity to gain practical teaching experience in the context of German language instruction abroad, while also facilitating intercultural exchange.
Meet the DAAD-Lecturers in Australia, Andreas Wiebel, Jessica Lesjak and Tessa Revink as well as the DAAD Teaching Assistant Lena Glaubach via the links to their profiles below.
International study, research or work experience is increasingly in demand in the work place. The campaign "studieren weltweit – ERLEBE ES!" is designed to help young people understand of the benefits of a stay abroad.
At many higher education institutions in non-German-speaking countries, German teachers are also employed who are not supported by the DAAD or other institutions. They generally teach German Language, Literature, and German Studies. The DAAD offers these lecturers possibilities for professional support as part of its Ortslektor programme.
