How can German language teaching be made engaging, practice-oriented, and academically grounded in today’s educational landscape? This conference brings together researchers, educators, early-career scholars, and students who are interested in innovative approaches to German Studies and German language teaching.
Participants can look forward to inspiring presentations and interactive workshops that not only introduce new teaching methods but also provide opportunities to experience and test them firsthand. The conference will also explore how insights from literary and cultural studies can be effectively integrated into language teaching, opening up new perspectives at the intersection of research and education.
In addition to the academic program, the event offers numerous opportunities for exchange and networking. A book exhibition, information booths hosted by German-related organizations, and presentations of current research on German language learning in Japan will complement the conference program.
Discover fresh ideas for your teaching practice, connect with colleagues and fellow scholars, and help shape the future of German language education. We look forward to welcoming you!
