As proPIC partners in Kiel, the area of expertise we brought into the project was filmmaking in teacher training as an innovative learning approach. In 2013, the so-called Viducation project was launched at the Institute of Romance Studies at the University of Kiel (CAU) as a reaction to the new Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Arts degree programmes in order to improve students’ learning skills and core competences by creating subject-related videos. Filmmaking by students is already widely used in primary and secondary schools (Reid, Burn, & Parker, 2002), while teacher education is still hardly prepared for it (as shown for German teacher education training, Müller, 2012). The aim of this article is to present a learning approach that enables students to expand their subject knowledge in a sustainable, value-based, and personality-building way on the basis of constructivist learning theories by means of filmmaking...
The claim to strive for greater internationalisation in the fields of academic education not only corresponds to the pressures of an increasingly globalised world but is also a response to the ever-growing challenges of cultural diversity that exist within one’s own country. For students, however, the geographical space relevant to their education is usually constituted not by the nation state but by an educationally autonomous entity of subordinate size.

This interplay can be well seen, for example, in the appreciation of social multilingualism and its consideration in school policy. The field of foreign language teacher training is a prime example in this respect in its interweaving with overarching educational concepts...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
