The academic discipline involves the theoretical and practical mastery of modern methods of teaching German as a foreign language by students. The course consists of lectures, practical sessions, and independent study aimed at immersing students in a modern interactive approach to teaching German as a foreign language and preparing them for the experimental part - the practical research project RER (Praxiserkundungsprojekt). The theoretical and practical preparation for conducting the experiment is based on the materials of the advanced training course series DLL (Deutsch lehren lernen) 6 "Curriculare Vorgaben und Unterrichtsplanung" (Curricular Guidelines and Lesson Planning). The first part of the course is conducted on the moodle platform, and the experiment is carried out in groups of first and second-year students specializing in "German Language and Literature" (specializations: "Philology" and "Translation"). Prior to the course, students receive a preparatory course provided by the Goethe Institute in Ukraine called "Propädeutikum," which aims to provide students with terminological and technical preparation for the DLL course.
