Curriculum and Lesson Planning for German Teachers

8 Week asynchronous online course with 4 virtual sessions

The overall goal of this course is for teachers to get an in-depth understanding of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and its influence on lessons, as well as how CEFR relates to the ACTFL- Proficiency Standards. Teachers will learn to formulate can-do descriptions themselves and recognize their importance for action-oriented lessons. The course will culminate with a 3-week final project (Practical Exploration Project or PEP), in which the new theoretical approaches of the DLL unit are reviewed and assessed in the teacher’s own teaching practice. The Practical Exploration Project initiates changes in the classroom and helps to increase the professionalism of teachers. This course is conducted in German as an immersion experience in partnership with the Goethe-Institut USA.
