Teaching English as a Foreign Language

Come and join one of these fantastic courses, funded by ERASMUS+ KA1!
The seminars and workshops offered consist of two main areas:

  • Practising and extending participants’ own English language skills through participation in communicative, interactive language activities. 
  • Highly practical, engaging and memorable techniques to use with teaching English. Techniques focus on developing learners’ listening, reading and speaking skills and on enjoyable and memorable ways of approaching grammar and vocabulary. Participants will learn a lot about how to teach English as a foreign language using cooperative learning. The courses contain a great deal of advice for teaching motivating, communicative and student-centred lessons. 

These components will include lots of opportunities to talk in English and share ideas with other participants from all over Europe.

Deutsch als Fremdsprache unterrichten

Die beiden Deutschkurse machen LehrerInnen fit auf zwei Lernebenen: 

  • Zum einen fördern und erweitern sie die Sprachkenntnisse der Teilnehmer*innen in Deutsch, besonders die kommunikative Kompetenz. 
  • Zum anderen bieten sie neue Ideen für einen motivierenden Deutschunterricht. Schülerzentrierte, kommunikative Methoden, besonders aus dem Bereich des kooperativen Lernens, machen fit für das Unterrichten in Deutsch. 

Kooperatives Lernen ermöglicht es allen SchülerInnen im Unterricht aktiv mitzuarbeiten und produktiv zusammenzuarbeiten. Kooperative Lernformen helfen der Lehrperson in einfacher, aber sehr effektiver Form, die Mitarbeit der Lernenden intensiv zu fördern. Daher werden im Mittelpunkt des methodischen Teils der beiden Kurse kooperative Lernformen stehen. Sie werden verknüpft mit Aktivitäten aus dem Bereich Musik, Theater spielen und mit Texten kreativ arbeiten. 

In beiden Deutschkursen gibt es viele Gelegenheiten miteinander Deutsch zu sprechen und Ideen auszutauschen mit den Kolleg*innen aus anderen europäischen Schulen.
