TEFL Lab
Lernwerkstatt Englischdidaktik (TEFL Lab)
The TEFL Lab is an exciting and innovative venue for exploring practical and theoretical issues of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). It hosts a wide range of teaching resources, including current coursebooks and accompanying materials, teacher manuals, method guides, and teaching aids. The inventory of the TEFL Lab also includes an extensive collection of graded and annotated readers, literature that is suggested for the EFL classroom, and also a carefully selected stock of picture books and children's literature. The TEFL Lab is also equipped with modern classroom technology and digital media, for example an interactive whiteboard, a classroom set of iPads, educational software, and films.
An introductory video in German can be found here.

Meeting the challenges and harnessing the opportunities that digitalisation and modern media pose to language learning is one of the key aims being pursued by the Chair of TEFL in its teacher education programme.
The TEFL Media Certificate provides students with both a theoretical foundation as well as practical knowledge in ELT-specific areas concerning medial and digital aspects, such as:
- using web-based applications, blogs, wikis, social networks, AI-based tools
- expanding coursebook content with audiovisual and digital materials and tasks
- exploring digital narratives and their potential for literary learning
- employing mobile devices, VR devices and interactive whiteboards
Hence, the certificate furthers professional development by fostering dimensions of media and digital literacy that are most relevant for future language teachers.
