I really need to talk to the department here and see if a thesis on football culture would be completely off the wall. (A lot of my uncertainty boils down to "I need to talk to the right people, but I haven't figured out what questions I need to ask them so I sound intelligent.")
All the US-based programs I'm looking at include instruction in the curriculum. None of them have a specifically teaching-focused course, but they all emphasize methods of pedagogy.
The German-based programs I'm looking at are all German-as-foreign-language programs, but German universities have more stringent curricula and admission requirements, which zombie said I should just write them and ask about, explain my situation and ask what I need to do to fulfill the requirements, and he'd even proofread whatever I came up with.
But that involves selling the house and moving, which is a HUGE risk, and I've always been very risk-averse. (Our HOA covenant doesn't allow us to rent out our house. Ben says if that becomes relevant, he'd rather petition the board to make an exception (they don't want, basically, slum lords) than straight up sell the house. We'll see.)
