Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Coaching processes have long become an integrated and widely established tool for reflection and professional support in our working lives. In this course you will take on the role of both the coach and the coachee in the context of introductory lecture courses.
This experience will enable you to infer essential implications for your (future) professional life as a teacher, trainer in adult education, employer or manager in a wide range of different institutions.

In connection with the introductory lecture courses you will independently coach a small group of STEOP students by:

- introducing them to academic life and activities in the context of studying English (including the use of the relevant library and other information resources),
- assisting and accompanying their individual learning processes,
- enabling well structured academic exchange and discussion,
- providing them with tools of self- and stress-management

Prior to your work as a coach, you will be familiarized with some basic concepts, methods and tools of coaching in an introductory workshop .

You will also be familiarized with basic concepts of group dynamics which will serve you as a basic for diagnostic and analytical investigations in your own experience with specific groups.

Throughout the term, your experience, success and challenges as a coach will be discussed and supported in three supervision sessions in a small group with your fellow coaching students and a professional supervisor.

The term will close with an evaluation and reflection workshop.
