OER materials
On these pages you will find Open Educational Resources (OERs) that have been developed since 2022 as part of our project in courses, projects and master’s theses in English didactics. Our aim is to provide teachers and learners with high-quality, accessible and adaptable materials that enrich modern English teaching.

The materials provided are divided into three areas in order to meet different teaching and learning needs. At lower secondary level, there are OER materials that focus more on the development of basic language skills, while upper secondary level offers more challenging content in terms of both subject matter and language. The OERs in the area of teacher training support teachers in independently developing practical skills and knowledge.
