GETVICO24 special focus in 2020 is dedicated to the German Reunification. Celebrated every year on October 3rd, the German Reunification is one of the defining moments in European contemporary history. As we prepare to celebrate this year’s 30th anniversary, we are eager to feature presentations that discuss how this monumental event is approached globally in the instruction of German as a foreign language.
From hands-on-practical projects for beginner German students to refined linguistic theory for advanced learners, presentations dedicated to this topic will explore how and in what ways the historical narrative of the German Reunification has played a role in language acquisition. What can be gleaned from the events that happened three decades ago and how should they be incorporated in order to successfully impart the language?
