If you want to upskill and reflect on your teaching practise, as well as (re-)connect with Goethe-Institut Irland, PPLI and other practitioners in the field, then this 3-day interactive German spoken Summer School is for you.

Three strands weave through this event:

•  Hands-on and interactive sessions such as how to introduce grammar playfully, support the spoken language in the classroom, and sessions exploring, trying out, and discussing new interactive language games as well as teaching / learning techniques.
• Slots to reflect on AI in the German-language classroom, as well as the usage of selected online-tools for teaching.
• Informative presentations by Goethe-Institut Irland and the Post Primary Language Ireland (ppli) on support, material, and relevant projects for both the individual teachers and teaching and learning in schools.

Lecturer: Anna Weiss-Tuite (senior teacher at Goethe-Institut Irland with a background of teacher training and work with secondary school groups; former DAAD lecturer of German in DCU) and guests speakers.
