Testimonials

Dhanya Vijayakumar Teaching is the best route to learning - it is this realisation that prompted me to make this noble profession my career. Being a language enthusiast, I first taught English language and literature, the subject of my higher studies, and eventually shifted my focus entirely to the language I began learning merely as a hobby- German. After doing my C1, I started teaching at Goethe-Zentrum Trivandrum and have been teaching since 2010.

The Book “Aufgaben, Übungen, Interaktion (DLL 4) was gifted to me in a training program in GI Bonn. Soon I embarked on a treasure hunt, discovering new ways of teaching in the classroom. When an opportunity arose at the Goethe-Zentrum Trivandrum to enroll myself for the DLL training, I was thrilled. The DLL program provided me with the theoretical know-how and the practical tips required for teaching, which I was able to experiment with at the congenial work-environment of the Goethe-Zentrum Trivandrum/Kochi. This training is a complete enrichment program. The continuous support of the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore motivated me to make optimal use of this opportunity.

I can now clearly perceive a major shift in my understanding of and attitude towards teaching. Each student is different and for a successful learning experience, it is imperative that their requirements are fulfilled. Keeping this in mind, each module of the DLL training addresses a particular aspect of teaching. These modules really equipped me with the right kind of tools and techniques to plan my own classes more systematically.

It is my privilege and duty as a teacher to never stop learning. The DLL program embodies in my view the principle of life-long learning. DLL has introduced me to new ways of teaching and in turn, learning. It is immensely gratifying.

© Medha Jaganmohan Medha:
DLL is an invaluable experience: “A gift that broadens and deepens the art of teaching.”

♦ Methods of teaching that DLL focuses on, not only make you learn the language but acquire it in an engaging way.
♦ DLL is essential to anyone who cares about the language - it makes you smarter.
♦ And last but not least: Should anything stand in the way of creativity? - DLL has got your back!

© Sageena Chandran Sageena:
♦ DLL is a mixture of theory and practice and gives us concrete ideas to transform the mundane classroom into a lively and engaging class.
♦ DLL helps us to structure our classes and to integrate concepts seamlessly.
♦ DLL is a treasure trove of tips and tricks for our classroom teaching.

© Moli Bhattacharya Moli:
♦ This training programme has convinced me that a good teacher can really make a difference.
♦ When we implement the principles learnt in this programme, the learning and teaching experience is more interactive and fun.

© Anish Suresh Anish:
The course taught me how to teach languages – a skill which has its own set of peculiar hurdles to surmount. What aids the uninitiated (such as myself) in this quest, are the didactic strategies imparted to us. These, when brought into the classroom, give language learners the impression that they are learning the language on their own, thank you very much! Counter-productive, you say? I think not. A taste of that type of learning is empowering and leaves most yearning for more.

Furthermore, our course-in-charge ensured that the intensive theory sessions were followed up with relevant examples of how one could apply it in the classroom. All in all, despite its intensity – and perhaps because of it – the course is apt for those wishing to master the skill of language teaching.

© Saumya Stephen Saumya:
“The class should be fun” is not something you hear every day.

In the past, I have always associated the words “teaching and learning” to a picture of students, sitting silently in a classroom, listening to the teacher and taking down notes from the board.

DLL Program has changed my perspective to teaching and learning. I realised that learning should be, and can be, fun!

In addition, it provided me with tools, to deal with the challenges I faced in a classroom, for instance inactive participants, lack of contribution in group activities and so on.

The teaching methodologies help me plan a class keeping in mind who the learners are and what their communicative needs are.
