Goal-oriented, clearly structured, varied
Our learning concept

Our tuition

• reflects the most recent knowledge in teaching and learning research.
• is varied and communicative. Speaking, listening, reading and writing are practised in situations based on real-life, using authentic texts.
• is oriented to topical and inter-cultural subject matter. Themes based on regional culture, (online) projects and research tasks provide a variety of opportunities to approach the subject of German-speaking culture.
• The teaching language is German right from the first lesson.
• Our Learning platform provides innovative and flexible learning opportunities.

Our course system

• is based on the six levels defined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This means that the language skills you acquire in our courses can be measured objectively and are internationally comparable.  
• is standardised and transparent everywhere in the world. Once you have completed a course you can continue to learn flexibly – in your own location, in Germany or online.

Our teaching staff

• are specially trained to teach German as a foreign language. As a basis for this we use the DLL – Deutsch Lehren Lernen professional development program, which was created by specialists at the Goethe-Institut in collaboration with representatives of the scientific community.

• have experience in working with people from different countries and cultures.
• regularly receive further training from us, so that they are always up-to-date with the latest developments in teaching German as a foreign language.
• inform you of your learning achievements on a regular basis, and advise you as to how you should approach your continued learning most effectively.

Our German examinations

• All exams for adult learners at the Goethe-Institut are audited by the Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) and have been awarded the Q-Mark quality seal.
