In the social sciences, teaching methods, approaches and tools have advanced over the past decades. This progress, however, has mostly taken place on a theoretical level. Very few of the ideas and findings were implemented in class. A typical class in the social sciences remains in a lecture format with hardly any technology besides slides. There are several reasons why courses like Political Science, International Relations and others have not implemented more of the methodological and technological progress that has taken place in the 20th and 21st century so far. While the COVID19 pandemic that started in 2020 has caused a major step forward towards acceptance of technologies in the social sciences there are more tools and devices that will bring further experiences to the discipline in the near future. One of the technologies that is entering higher education now is Virtual Reality (VR). This chapter will explore VR as a technology, discuss its application in higher education and analyse its contemporary and future role in the social sciences.

This paper seeks to access the stated knowledge about the practices and challenges faced by teachers and educators in the activities of plastic and visual expression in Primary Education in Portugal. As teacher training is nowadays organized in two cycles of higher education: a first cycle of initial training in basic education and a second cycle of specialized training with emphasis on supervised teaching practices, we tried to study some reports of these practices, made to obtain the Master's degree. In these reports, future teachers present the activities implemented in the school context as well as the teaching-learning procedures and strategies developed with elementary school students with the integration of different curricular areas.

The problems of forming phonetic skills of the German language which is studied on the basis of the English language have been considered. The aim of this research is to make the comparative analysis of the phonetic aspects of the foreign languages that are taught one after another. There has been the attempt to analyze, generalize and systematize the material on the given topic which is presented in works in German, English, Ukrainian and Russian on the main theoretical questions connected with the process of teaching the second foreign language. It was shown that while forming phonetic skills in German, it is necessary to give the characteristics to the phonetic, rhythmic and intonation peculiarities of both German and English; to point out the difficulties of mastering the pronunciation system of German, to develop the introductory course and the material for phonetic warming-up and to work out the algorithm of introducing a new sound.

VErlagsinfo: Jeder vierte deutsche Schüler lernt Französisch. Doch das Fach steckt in der Krise, denn die Belegzahlen sinken. Andererseits lernen Kinder fremde Sprachen am einfachsten möglichst früh. Wie lässt sich die Bildungssprache des vorletzten Jahrhunderts heute zeitgemäß bereits in der Grundschule unterrichten? Ralf Müller entwickelt hierfür ein Unterrichtsdesign mit interkultureller Ausprägung. Dazu befasst er sich mit Theorien und Konzepten zur interkulturellen Erziehung und stellt Beziehungen zwischen Fremdsprachenerwerb und begleitender Landeskunde her. Aktuelle Lehrbücher, Bild- und Lernwörterbücher und weitere Materialien werden in dieser praxisorientierten Handreichung vorgestellt und bewertet.
