GLS & Erasmus +

GLS is a teacher training center for German as a foreign language. We strongly believe in lifelong learning and in gaining professional expertise abroad. That's why we train professionals from all over the world, and that's why we too go abroad: Funded by Erasmus+, members of the GLS academic team study best practices by learning languages at schools abroad. They switch perspectives, from teacher to student, which can be very helpful, as this report suggests.

Heidi, GLS teacher

"Auch Lehrbücher bilden gesellschaftliche Strukturen ab und werden somit dem Anspruch der Diskriminierungsfreiheit und Diversität nicht gerecht. Mithilfe des Fortbildungswissens sollte Lehrmaterial im Hinblick darauf gezielter ausgewählt und erstellt werden können. So werden die Teilnehmer*innen durch die thematischen Inhalte in ihrer Diversität angesprochen, statt ausgeschlossen zu werden."

Ellen & Stefan, GLS teachers

Ellen: "Ich verspreche mir von der Fortbildung eine Bereicherung meines eigenen Denkens und Verhaltens sowie in der Folge eine Bereicherung meiner Lehrtätigkeit und meiner konzeptionellen und koordinativen Arbeit in einem Unternehmen, das viele unterschiedliche Menschen an einem Ort zusammen bringt."

Stefan: "Ich habe mich zeitlebens dafür interessiert, wie sich Kultur auf jegliche Art menschlicher Interaktion auswirkt und wie der sogenannte kulturelle Hintergrund die Kulisse bildet, vor der sich das Individuum herauskristallisiert."
