A GAVE can be completed in German and English in the Language Track, or in English only in the Cultural Track.
The GAVE program is divided into topics that all follow the same framework, or ‘Fahrplan.’ Each student-centered topic includes introductory Get-to-Know-You tasks and more in-depth Exchange tasks, where your students will have fun while learning about the German language and culture as they interact with their German counterparts.
