Summer training - 2 weeks (07.07. - 18.07.2025) - Package 2: Description
Training 1: Discovering Germany culturally: Ideas for culture-centered learning (07.07.25 - 11.07.25) >>Teachers who teach German as a foreign language are seen by their learners as a link to German culture. But what is actually typically German? How is German culture defined? In this training course, participants experience German and Düsseldorf culture at first hand in workshops at the training center as well as on excursions and outdoor experiences in the city. The focus is on lifestyle, housing and transportation, food and drink as well as modern literature, music and film. In the second step, the findings are processed pedagogically according to modern standards. Participating teachers receive ideas for the creation of their own digitally supported teaching materials relating to regional studies topics, in which the experiences from the training can be processed and used profitably in everyday school life, and apply the new knowledge in practical workshops.
- Experience German culture up close in workshops and on excursions
- Gain an insight into the Düsseldorf and Rhineland way of life, modern literature and music
- Try out didactic ideas for exciting cultural mediation yourself and develop lesson plans for your own lessons
Training 2: Digital ideas for teaching: presence, online or hybrid (14.07.25 - 18.07.25) >>
The speed of progress in digital teaching options is making it increasingly difficult to gain an overview of the purpose and possibilities of using tools and apps in foreign language teaching. In this training course, the latest findings on digital teaching are conveyed. Participating teachers will learn all about the “digital classroom” and develop strategies for using it in their own lessons. In workshops, examples of the use of tablets & co. in the classroom will be presented and tried out. Teachers will learn how to use which web-based tools and platforms in a targeted manner and, for example, how to create teaching materials and make them available digitally with the help of artificial intelligence and acquire knowledge about online-based games, apps, interactive worksheets and virtual collaboration platforms for all forms of teaching. A particular focus of the training is on presenting the technical and didactic features of online or hybrid teaching.
- Get an overview of the wide range of didactically usable tools and programs
- Examples of digitally supported teaching, e.g. get to know and try out examples of digitally supported teaching, e.g. by using AI to simplify preparation and follow-up work for teachers
