Berlin has long been at the heart of German culture. For teachers who want to take language practice out of the classroom and help their students understand the German culture, the experience of walking the streets of Berlin, taking in the atmosphere and practicing the language in real-life situations is invaluable.
Subject Focus:
- KS 3-5: Take German language practice beyond the classroom, allowing students to engage in spontaneous, unscripted encounters with native speakers.
- KS 3-5: Develop students' confidence and fluency in speaking German, using it in practical situations.
- KS 3-5: Better understand the culture of the people who speak the language.
Student Outcomes:
- Develop speaking and listening skills through communicating with native German speakers in real-life situations.
- Boost students' confidence as they stretch their capabilities.
- Learn about German culture and the people of Berlin.
- Learn about issues concerning contemporary Germany.
It makes a huge difference as a busy teacher to have people on the other end of the phone who always seem to be so helpful with solving the inevitable problems that arise in the organisation of such trips.
