The training courses take place at the Goethe-Institutes in Berlin, Bremen, Dresden, Munich and Schwäbisch-Hall. In-person and blended learning formats are offered on various topics, including:
- Deepening knowledge of German, culture and society
- Methodology/didactics and planning German lessons
- Use of digital media
- Qualification for early foreign language learning
My time in Schwäbisch Hall was not only incredibly instructive but also thoroughly enjoyable and enriching. I took away so much and am deeply grateful to the Goethe-Institut for this wonderful experience.
