Nico Daniel Schlösser
About
In my PhD project, I use multimodal critical discourse analysis to investigate representations of community in textbooks for German and Norwegian as foreign/second languages.
I am also deputy head of the "Research Group Educational Media" (forskningsgruppe læremidler) at the Department of Teacher Education and I teach various courses at the Department of Language and Literature.
Since 2010, I have gained teaching and leadership experience at lower and upper secondary schools in Germany and Norway. I passed the First and Second State Examination for teaching in upper secondary schools (German, French, History) in Freiburg and Stadthagen (Germany) and obtained a Master's degree in the History of Modern German Literature at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg (Germany).
