My Students
Guten Tag! As a German teacher, I am always looking to bring current and interesting material to my students about culture and language. My students are exposed to German from 1st-6th grade in hopes that they continue the language in middle and high school. I continue their exposure to culture and language at an intermediate school that has 5th-6th grade.
My school is a Title I school and the closest most of my students will be to Germany is through books and pictures.
I want them to experience as much as they can to not only build interest in the language but also to have a greater understanding of international culture. My students are enthusiastic and curious about many parts of German culture and love seeking out new information. I want to be able to provide them with information with a vibrant and expansive classroom library.
My Project
As a world language teacher, I aim to inspire my young students to continue on with their language learning through a deep connection between culture and language. It is key to show my students the impressive cultures of the world. Books and materials are the best tools that I can provide to my students. By having different topics and aspects of culture, I can address my students various reading levels and interests.
Culture is a major part of creating student interest in German.
However, culture is bigger than this course, which is why there is a mixture of German culture books and world geography. These resources will all help to paint a picture of the definition and vastness of culture. In order to continue student interest in culture and language, I want students to be able to explore the world through books filled with rich information and images.
More than half of students from low‑income households
