Come join Chicago’s Goethe-Institut and the Concordia Language Villages in Bemidji, MN, for the exciting weekend seminar “Bringing Nature and the Environment into the German Classroom” this May.  In pursuit of cultural competency, this seminar introduces teachers of German to Waldsee’s content-based, immersion approach to language learning and teaching.  Time is scheduled for seminar participants to observe Waldsee staff convey alternative energy content through hands-on activities with high school participants on-site.  Teachers will also partner with Waldsee staff and practice innovative teaching methods while co-teaching environmental activities applicable to classroom settings.

Participants stay in the award winning, super energy-efficient Waldsee BioHaus; the latest addition to Waldsee’s authentic German Language Village showcasing modern German living and architecture.
