Language and culture students experience the problem that they cannot gain teaching experience early in their undergraduate education. Because students gain teaching experience too late, or not at all, they miss an important part of their personal and professional development. They should be able to learn about learning, and to discover their talents and interests, earlier. In this innovation project, we develop a meet-and-read module in which university students read literature together with high school students using the shared reading method, so university students gain teaching experience earlier and high school students are introduced to language and culture studies.
