GFL lessons are designed to enable learners to communicate in German in different situations. What does this mean in the era of YouTube and WhatsApp? Should the linguistic phenomena of these media be explored in GFL lessons, or have they perhaps already been included in textbooks or even exams?

What do German lessons have in common with football training? In the Mit Deutsch zum Titel! project one thing’s for sure – it was lots of fun. The school teams achieving the most victories on the pitch and in the classroom were awarded the cup. You can bring the World Cup into your classroom too with these teaching resources.
 

Knowledge is not contagious. No matter what one teaches, it is either not learnt at all, or is learnt in an entirely different way. Learning is a process that can be externally influenced to only a very limited degree. However, language learning coaching can help learners develop an awareness of the conditions that influence their learning.
