Further classes will be added.

This class meets once a week for 25 minutes. Learners will be encouraged to speak to the teacher, in pairs and individually. Learners will at times repeat the teacher and at other times be encouraged to answer for themselves. There will be a balance between developing fluency as well as focusing on accuracy. 

How is your class structured?
1. Each class will start with a fun warmer to enable students to feel relaxed. 
2. Teacher will provide input and model key vocabulary.
3. Learners will practise through various activities.
4. Learners will recap what is learnt through an open-ended activity to allow learners to complete it at their level.

How will you teach?
Our teaching style is dynamic and engaging. The class will be interactive and supportive of all needs. Students will all get the opportunity to participate and complete their own tasks. The class will include a range of teaching methods including questions and answers; individual, paired and group activities; games and quizzes.  Learners are encouraged to draw something related to the conversation topic to share at the end of each class. 

What's your teaching style?
We are a team of experienced teachers who are calm, patient and supportive whilst ensuring that the children are constantly learning. The environment will be dynamic and learners will actively participate throughout the class. As experienced teachers, we are capable of adapting my style to suit the learners. 

How much will learners get to interact with you and each other?
Students will be active participants throughout each class.  Student talk time is expected to be significantly higher than teacher talk time. 

Any required experience or knowledge learners need?
Learners will be expected to be beginners of German. Learners should be at A1 level, meaning they are beginners of German.  It is a Conversation Club so learners will be encouraged to speak to both the teacher and other learners in basic German. Learners will be encouraged to greet one another and have simple conversations with other students. Learners will be encouraged to speak in full sentences.
