Bio

Sara Wohlschläger began her academic journey in 2017 in the teacher training programme at Leipzig University, where she studied English and French with a focus on language, literature, and culture. She completed the programme in 2024 with the First State Examination for Secondary School Teaching. During her time at Leipzig University, Sara also earned a BA in English Studies and later an MA in Global British Studies. In the summer of 2025, Sara completed her second First State Examination, this time in German as a Second Language.

Sara's bachelor’s thesis focused on unreliable narration and the literary strategies authors use to construct it. She continued in this direction in her master’s thesis, exploring narrative absorption through the lenses of cognitive literary studies, empirical literary studies, and digital humanities.

For her First State Examination thesis, Sara investigated integrative approaches to language education by comparing language teaching practices in Germany and Switzerland, with a particular focus on multilingualism and teachers’ subjective theories.

Alongside her academic work, Sara gained practical experience as a private tutor, a research assistant on a project involving digital feedback tools, a tutor in the English didactics department at Leipzig University, and a substitute teacher at a secondary school in Saxony.
