Master Empirische Bildungsforschung: “Bildungssoziologie: Migration und Bildung“

Participants who do not study sociology as main subject can gain equivalent certificates. This is based on the prerequisite that students attend the lectures, prepare for class (compulsory reading) and give a presentation. Additionally, students are expected to write a seminar paper.
The language of instruction will optionally be English or German, in order to facilitate international students to attend the course.

Inhalt:

Language proficiency is a crucial resource for immigrants’ integration into the receiving country. We focus on three main topics within the lecture: First, we discuss the basics of integration theory and analyze different types and dimensions of immigrants’ incorporation. Second, we address the mechanisms of language acquisition and identify the conditions under which immigrants’ improve their language proficiency. Furthermore, we relate language proficiency to immigrants’ educational outcomes and labor market success. Third, we elaborate the role of immigrants’ first language proficiency and first language use, which is highly controversial. In each section we discuss fundamental theoretical approaches as well as reasonable empirical evidence.
A detailed syllabus of the course is available on the Virtual Campus.
