Developing critical employability skills.
Promoting cultural competency.
Creating an engaging learning experience: Utilising innovative teaching methods and real-world applications to make German language learning a stimulating and enjoyable journey.
Fostering collaboration and exchange: Building a supportive community of educators dedicated to sharing best practices, resources, and opportunities for professional development.
Why German matters…
“While I recognise the importance and global role of English, the fact is that knowledge of German is a huge asset, particularly with Germany being the largest economy in Europe and German the mother tongue of more people in Europe than any other language. When I visit British and German companies in the UK, one thing that business leaders consistently tell me is that they are actively searching for employees with German language skills. Studies of job vacancies regularly list German as the most sought-after language among employers. Although translation programmes are becoming ever more sophisticated, they will never replace proficient communicators in today’s highly interconnected world.”
