The fundamental of our inter-active lessons is the direct and
communicative teaching method, which enhances the dynamic group
process as well as the concentration and motivation of each
participant.
Learning without any stress and pressure is our principle. The
students different personalities are taken into account by
individual communication channels. The participant is always the
center of the teaching process.
Creative lessons and regular learning control tests enable the
participant to perceive and understand the fineness of German grammar.
Sensitive address will encourage the participants to express themselves in the new
language from the very beginning of the course. Games like improvised
interviews or sketches help to overcome very quickly the natural
symptoms of shyness, embarrassment and inhibition. The enhancing pace
of speaking as well as the steady growing vocabulary will be compensated
by continuous repetition.
Multimedia devices such as language software helps the participants to
obtain the proficiency of listening and speaking with ease. By means of audio and video sequences the perception and imitation of authentic German language
models will be trained.
As an efficient support of self-control and analysis the participants work out and perform short dialogues and plays on their own, which will be recorded on tape or
on DV-cam.
This will help to get a real feeling for the own German speaking and
enables to recognize and correct mistakes.
Common projects and
thematic training excursions
turn the classroom lessons into
real language experiences with a high learning value. Common city
excursions by public transport, shopping tours on street markets,
visits of important local industrial producers, artists and
craftspeople as well as original thematic exhibitions take the
participants close to the social and cultural life of the city and
opens a direct contact to the local people. The gained language
knowledge will be purposefully applied in real life on the real
spot.
The lessons are held completely in German language, supported by
glossaries and vocabularies. |
