WV-AATG Sprint Retreat “Namibia in the DaF Classroom” 2009
We will touch on many aspects during our immersion weekend, but we may learn some larger lessons from the example of German-Namibian culture.
As an association, we must make sure that we recruit and engage students (both graduate students and advanced undergraduates, especially those in teacher ed. programs) of German from all institutions.
They are the future of our chapter.
We must engage all German teachers in WV and start collaborating with each other and across disciplinary and regional borders.
And we must advocate for German in West Virginia. A first step is to increase our participation in WVFLTA by attending the fall conference.
There are many ways in which you will benefit from your attendance. Among many other things, you will have opportunities to
- Network with other German teachers,
- Advance your program by nominating your ”WV Outstanding German Student,”
- Make your contribution in developing teaching materials on Namibia,
- Internationalize your classroom beyond European borders,
- Bring home a materials package you can adapt for your classroom,
- Invigorate your teaching by adding some African spice to your classes, and
- Access opportunities for you and your students through AATG.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Bethany, WV, on April 24-25, 2009. Please follow the links for electronic documents:
