Webinars for German Teachers

Learning How to Learn — How we help our learners take responsibility for their own learning process

Successful German as a Foreign Language (GFL) instruction not only teaches language skills but also empowers learners to increasingly take control of their own learning process. In this workshop, we will explore together ways and strategies for helping learners in DaF classes gradually take responsibility for their own learning so that they can learn more independently, consciously, and sustainably.

Who am I allowed to be? — Nine Questions about Freedom

Freedom doesn’t mean being allowed to do anything; it means deciding for ourselves what’s important to us. My clothing, my love, my religion, my opinion—in the “Freedom Diamond,” learners rank these very facets according to their own importance and, in doing so, engage in a discussion about what freedom means to them. Starting with nine very personal questions, we’ll explore together creative methods that bring freedom and self-determination to life in GFL classes (from A1 to B1/B2).

Who do I believe, and Why? — How Words Shape our Freedom to think

We all sometimes adopt opinions without realizing it—from our news feeds, from comment sections, from everyday life. But those who understand how language persuades regain something crucial: the freedom to judge for themselves. With three questions—“Who is speaking? What does this person want? How can I tell?”—our interactive exercises bring media literacy and freedom of expression to life in GFL  classes (from A1 to B1). 

 

The target audience is teachers of German in North America.

Participation is free. Registration, however, is mandatory.
