Workshops
This series of workshops will focus on the theme of diversity as a key point of contact between A-level German teaching, where it features both as a highlighted aspect of contemporary society and as a theme in prescribed literary works and films, and current work in German at University level, where it represents a core principle in curriculum development and broader institutional priorities.
These will take place on Zoom between 5:00-6:00pm听(with the exception of the talk on 27 February which will take place at the earlier start time of 4:30pm) on the following dates:

Each workshop will be led by a member of the German Section at the 澳门六合彩开奖记录, and will be structured so as to enable discussion and exchange. Starting from aspects of the topic covered in A-level teaching (e.g. heritage, multiculturalism), sessions will connect these to elements of University teaching of the topic and to current research in the field, providing a chance to prepare and exchange targeted, accessible extension materials and exercises.
