Towards an ‘authentic German’ language classroom
About this Event

Workshop for teachers, funded by the German Foreign Office through the DAAD and supported by the Goethe-Institut and Languages for All.


This morning workshop is designed for teachers of German and is part of a one-day event. The second, afternoon workshop brings us together with teachers and experts in all languages. You are invited to register for both parts of the workshop.


We offer (German) Language teachers support through…

· Networking towards a collaborative Hub with schools and universities in the North-West to boost the number of A-level German students.

· Providing authentic learning materials for Year 11 German classes based on latest research in applied linguistics and language pedagogy.

· Exploring CPD and mentoring opportunities for German in Schools.


We would be happy if you could also join us for the afternoon workshop with the title ‘Language Networks Now: Living the Language - Language Education in the North-West and Beyond: Exploring Collaborations’
