(Flyer & Registration Download ****)

 

Wonderland Camp and Conference Center, Camp Lake, Wisconsin

 

The Northern Illinois and Wisconsin Chapters of the AATG together with the Trainernetzwerk of the Goethe-Institut-Chicago will organize the 13th annual Immersion Weekend for Teachers of German. The focus will be:

 

Lyrik & Musik = Fantasievoller & erfolgreicher Unterricht

 

Music accompanies our students in almost all of their activities. Recognizing the potential and seizing the opportunity is our task as we structure our instruction to address the interests' of our audience.  At this year's Immersion Weekend for Teachers, we will introduce techniques for deciphering, creating and playing with Lyrik & Musik.   The Goethe-Institut Chicago's Trainernetzwerk had a very productive introduction to DOPPEL-U this past spring and we will share activities from this workshop and present a smorgasbord of practical techniques for working with poetry and songs, both classical and contemporary.

 

**** New teachers and teachers in training are strongly encouraged to attend.

**** Participants must be willing to communicate in German at all times.

 

Lodging and Meals

 

The Immersion Weekend will be held at the Wonderland Camp and Conference Center. Housing is in double rooms in the 30 room hotel which has been reserved for our group. The program begins on Friday evening with a light supper and introductory activities and ends with lunch on Sunday.
