German Teachers´ Day in Hong Kong 2015- „German gets digital“

After the success of the German Teachers´ Day in 2013 and 2014, the Goethe-Institut Hongkong has decided to organize another German Teachers´ Day in 2015. The motto of this year will be “German gets digital”. The focus of this German Teachers´ Day will be digital learning in the area of German as foreign language. We will look at virtual learning platforms, use of i-Pads and mobile devices in the DaF (German as foreign language) classroom, use of Apps, digital learning concepts in the latest DaF publications, virtual language games for learners and use of interactive whiteboards in the DaF classroom.

The following programme outline provides information concerning seminar topics, contents and speakers. We have been striving to offer a comprehensive and diversified choice of seminars. Our speakers have many years of practical experience in teaching German as foreign language and advanced teacher training in Germany, China and other countries from East Asia as well as other parts of the world. In addition, our conference includes presentations from several renowned German publishers and a workshop from the Information and Library Department of the Goethe-Institut Hongkong. We sincerely hope that our visitors will have an opportunity to experience Hong Kong, a fascinating city, and take this chance to communicate and exchange ideas with other colleagues on this German Teachers’ Day.
