DLT 2022 took place digitally on three consecutive Saturdays between May 14 and June 4, as a workshop series under the theme “Teaching Skills in Series”.
In a Mentimeter survey, the German teachers selected the topics of our three Saturday workshops as the most important topics for them:
- Listening comprehension
- Vocabulary work
- Cultural studies
- Digital teaching tools were of course still a focus of the offered workshops.
