Visiting lectureship of Norwegian language at Tartu University

About this project

<p style="text-align: justify">Scandinavian languages and cultures have played a formative role in the development of Estonian culture and have had a deep impact on the whole Baltic Sea region. Today, Scandinavian companies have extensive business connections with the region, creating the need for locals specialized in Scandinavian languages and cultures.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Since 2014, the University of Tartu has not had a lecturer who is a native speaker in Norwegian.&nbsp;This pre-defined project will fund one position of a visiting Norwegian lecturer to Tartu University for the length of three years. In addition to the regular course work, the planned activities include: improving the standard of teaching and the curriculum; updating the study materials didactics; creating new cooperation networks; organising exhibitions, seminars and conferences; organising of events that popularise the field of teaching and research; visiting Estonian schools to present the study programme. It is expected that at least 30 students will take part in Norwegian language and literature lecturers at UT.&nbsp;The project will therefore help the continuation and sustainability of the study programme, Norwegian language and literature.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">&nbsp;</p>
