German Courses
for Adults | Methods

Our Methods
We believe it is important to vary teaching methods in our German
courses as much as possible. Since every group is different, our
teachers take an individual approach to each group and flexibly
adapt their teaching methods to students' respective learning needs.
The basic programme provides intensive coaching in grammar, sentence
structure and vocabulary. Reading and listening comprehension as
well as written exercises are important components of our German
courses. One of our basic principles is to ensure a maximum of spoken
communication. You are encouraged to practice your spoken German
with your teacher and with your classmates. Another course aim is
enabling you to self-study after finishing your course.
Modern Teaching
Materials
We use textbooks by the publishers Hueber and Langenscheidt and
complement it with our own authentic material. Our courses follow
accepted curricula, from beginners to advanced. ActiLingua boasts
modern teaching materials and equipment. Computers, DVDs and CDs
are among the aids used in tuition and sessions devoted to culture,
regional studies, literatussre and business. Use of our multimedia
library and computer facilities is a good way of adding to and reinforcing
the skills acquired in class work.
Our Teachers
Each group is taught by two (Standard course) or three (Intensive
course, Super-intensive Course, Business German) teachers a day
in order to ensure more varied and stimulating instruction. Participants
become familiar with different styles of teaching, teacher personalities
and variations in pronunciation of modern German.
Our teachers see themselves as your friends and partners. They
are native speakers of standard German, and they take genuine pleasure
in working together with you. They are highly qualified and regularly
attend training courses held by ActiLingua.
