Deutsch Lehren Lernen

As a part of the Deutsch Lehren Lernen (DLL) series designed by the Goethe-Institut, teachers from Canada, the US and Germany have the chance to participate in practice-oriented professional development courses. During these courses, teachers will engage with topics that are relevant to their daily work such as teaching grammar, vocabulary and literature or the use of different learning arrangements. To gain more hands-on knowledge, participants will work together on projects they implement in their German classes. In this way, teachers have the opportunity to integrate new ideas right away and to expand and reflect upon their expertise and competencies. This also encourgaes an intercultural exchange between the participants from Canada, the US and Germany.
 
The DLL professional development series has been designed for teachers of German as a Foreign Language who have reached at least the B2 level in German according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The courses are offered by the Goethe-Institut New York over eight weeks, with an estimated workload of 4-5 hours per week. The registration fee for the course is 100 USD. However, participants can apply for a scholarship covering these fees.
