Prof. Dr. Jürgen Kurtz
Teacher education (pre-service)
Conceiving of pre-service EFL teacher education as a complex, non-linear transformative process, Professor Kurtz offers a broad spectrum of research-driven and practice-oriented undergraduate and graduate TEFL courses, including, for instance, Vocabulary Instruction and Learning , Teaching Grammar , Textbook Analysis and Use , Exploring Mobile Apps for TEFL , Internal Differentiation and Inclusion , Motivation and Motivating , and Creative Teaching and Learning .

In this context, he has piloted seminars for advanced TEFL students on Promoting Vocabulary Learning in Theme-based EFL Sequences , Enhancing Fluency through Creative Practice , and Fostering Language and Culture Education in the EFL Classroom .
