Free online workshop for teachers of German and HODs of languages

This workshop aims to pick up on our freshly gained online social skills that we all developed during lockdown by establishing a monthly routine, aiming to stay in touch with our language whanau from all over NZ in a relaxed and encouraging way. The idea is to exchange ideas, such as resources, German book recommendations, movies, lesson plans, German music, jokes… – you name it! Anything to keep you on your toes for your students. Let’s make the most of our online advantage – being able to bring NZ German teachers together from all over the country to exchange their expertise in a casual way.

What is covered in this workshop?
Communicating in German, exchanging resources, ideas, networking, socialising 

Why should I attend this workshop?
Connect with your language cluster, practise the target language, catch up with teaching colleagues and improve your german language as well as intercultural skills.

In this workshop we talk about festivities and their importance as a reflection of culture. We will explore different activities that will immerse the students in the culture of the language they are learning.

Understanding culture is one of the best ways of motivating students to learn a language. 

This workshop will be held in English for those Spanish teachers with introductory to mid-level of Spanish.
