Winterschule for Teachers of German

The focus is on what you need every day in the classroom:

• German for classroom management – build your confidence in running your classroom communication smoothly: giving clear instructions, checking understanding, organising pair and group work, guiding student participation, and giving feedback and correction.
• Bring modern Germany into your classroom – engage your students with current topics and contemporary culture
• New teaching ideas – including how to work with films and music in class, as well as insights into Goethe-Institut exams

Alongside the course, you’ll take part in a thoughtfully curated and welcoming cultural program:
a German breakfast as an example of intercultural learning, exploring “German traces” in Melbourne, and meeting with partners from the education sector.

Learn together – connect with other teachers

Many teachers of German in Australia work quite independently. The Winterschule creates a welcoming space to meet, share ideas, and build lasting connections. You’ll be supported throughout by experienced trainers and the Goethe-Institut team – a trusted partner for teachers and a place for exchange and learning.

What you’ll take away:

• greater confidence using German in your classroom
• fresh, practical ideas for your teaching
• renewed motivation – and a strong professional network
