International teachers of German who are already working in their field and students of German studies who are about to finish their studies
The didactics seminar "Teaching German as a Foreign Language" addresses German teachers with teaching experience as well as students of German studies who are about to finish their studies and plan to work as German teachers in the future. You will get the chance to acquire new knowledge about modern didactics and teaching methods, brush up your language skills, and experience German culture, history and environment from different perspectives - all at the same time. All of these aspects will not only be addressed in the daily lessons, but also in excursions, expert lectures about teaching materials, examination formats, etc., and in further events related to the main topics of the workshop. At the end of the seminar, you will receive a certificate.
You will gain a multifaceted impression of German language and culture. Additionally, you will be equipped with the latest professional techniques for conveying this impression to your future students.
