HS students in Southern California were asked 3 questions. Here are their answers.                                                

They tell us how to better reach out to potential students.

One outcome is this flyer to promote German created by Ron Huber.

K-3 and higher:   Tinkering, playing, singing (traditional texts, melodies, notes ) http://www.kleinkind-online.de/index.htm

A website for Kindergarten teachers.

But there is some material applicable for older students, when you love German the fun way.

Rhythmic speaking, assisted by movements support language learning and can be copied from the kindergarten.

Why don't you send us links that were of practical help for your classroom?

Please mention the level you used it for.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. University

 

University German programs and High School German programs need each other.

Unfortunately this happens too often:

A HS-teacher retires, no replacement is in sight and the whole program is discontinued !

Less HS students of German - less students at the university level!

Only when we manage to bring the school into early contact to the qualified student teacher

may it be expected, that a young colleague and a German program have chance.

Please let us know what you have tried to work around this problem.

We want to share your experience among the profession.
