ESP Module - Frequently Asked Questions

1. When I’m doing EPCO or EPCO-advanced can I do another language competence course?
   No, because students are entitled to only one language competence course per semester, except if there are open places in the "Nachmeldefrist".


2. Can I do EPCO and EPCO-advanced at the same time?
   No, because students are entitled to only one language competence course per semester, except if there are open places in the "Nachmeldefrist".


3. Can I do two of the ESP Module courses at the same time?
   Yes, you can do:
   a)  EPCO AND Approaching ESP Texts
   b)  Approaching ESP Texts AND ESP Methodology
   c)  ESP Methodology AND EPCO-advanced


4. What are the prerequisites for ESP Methodology?
   For student teachers (Lehramtsstudierende): 601, 602, and 621.
   For "Diplomstudierende": 601, 602.


5. Can Diplomstudierende do the ESP Module?
   Yes! But see question 4 for prerequisites.


6. How do I get my CerTESP?
   Once you have done the four courses that make up the ESP Module, contact Mag. Monika Wittmann.


7. What does the CerTESP entitle me to?
   It shows a future employer that you have additional qualifications for teaching ESP. It is of course NOT a full teacher qualification (Lehramtsstudium)!
