All meals are taken together with the German teachers who represent different types of schools in the German system. This intensive program, which will be conducted in German, will combine lectures and presentations on various topics of German culture with excursions to local cultural and historical sites, school visits, a meeting with local politicians, and a three day excursion to Thuringia. The last weekend we will spend in the Saarland as guests of the Union Stiftung. Participants will have many opportunities to meet with German teachers. Professor Alfred Obernberger of the German Department will direct the program.
Participants are eligible to receive three graduate credits.
As participation in this program is limited, early registration is encouraged. To qualify for a scholarship, teachers should submit a curriculum vitae and a letter of recommendation from their principal or department head. American teachers of German with only limited opportunities for actual study in Germany or for regular visits to German speaking countries are particularly encouraged to apply. Room, board, and local excursions are provided. Transportation to Saarland is not included in program cost.
