Method
Languages, cultures, and people are in constant flux. To keep up with this dynamic environment, we continuously update our teaching methods. We combine tried-and-tested teaching approaches with innovative elements, always focusing on communicative learning. Therefore, our motto is clear: Speak, speak, speak. Our lessons include a variety of practical exercises, from role-playing and discussions to listening comprehension and reading tests. Additionally, we integrate project work to give you the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned immediately in real contexts. This all-around approach not only ensures a deeper understanding of language structures and faster vocabulary mastery but also boosts your confidence in using the new language. Since every learner is unique, we tailor our teaching to your specific needs.
Diverse methods, tailored for your success.
We employ a wide range of proven and recognized teaching methods for foreign language instruction, applied according to individual needs:
- Behaviorist Methods: These approaches focus on behavioral changes and use targeted repetition to support learning.
- Communicative Methods: In this case, the priority is placed on the practical use of the language to develop effective communication skills.
- Constructivist Methods: Here, learners are guided to construct knowledge independently and develop critical thinking.
The choice of method is influenced by various factors: group size, proficiency level, group composition, objectives, and available time. But we shouldn‘t forget one thing: We are dealing with the encounter of people from different countries, with different native languages and cultural backgrounds, as well as the diversity of learning styles. All these aspects contribute to making your intensive German course or your evening German course in Berlin a truly advancing and enjoyable experience!”
