German Language

A sneak peak into online German courses

When the pandemic hit, we initially believed that nothing could surpass the effectiveness of an offline language course. However, necessity forced us to transition our operations online. The challenges were monumental; our teachers had to adapt to teaching through screens, we had to meticulously select the best software for online meetings, and we needed to discover innovative techniques to inject fun into our online courses.

Fast forward three years, and we proudly assert that we’ve nearly replicated the quality of learning experiences in our online courses compared to our traditional offline/in-person offerings

Our core policy revolves around the holistic approach to language learning, encompassing reading, writing, speaking, and listening. While some may argue that all these aspects can be addressed with a blank screen featuring only initials, we firmly believe that the visual element, including the ability to see one another, observe facial expressions, and interpret hand gestures, significantly enhances the value of the conversation itself.

To illustrate this point, consider the memorable dialogue from the movie PK, delivered by Aamir Khan: ‘Acchaaaa’ in so many different ways Hindi, can carry a multitude of meanings—only when you witness the accompanying facial expression and context can you precisely discern the intended message

Learning with Fun & Games

Our approach to online classes goes beyond mere presentations; we are committed to ensuring that our virtual sessions are just as interactive and engaging as our offline ones. To achieve this, our teachers employ a wide range of techniques aimed at making each session captivating.

Our strategies span from the preparation of offline materials that can be seamlessly integrated into the online teaching experience to the use of interactive online gaming platforms like Kahoot. While we acknowledge that we cannot fully replicate the in-person atmosphere where individuals are physically present and interacting, we are dedicated to compensating for this limitation through the implementation of cutting-edge teaching techniques.

Digital Learning

Digital documents, content, videos, and blogs are shared in our educational environment.

Google Docs/Online Editors are utilized for collaborative editing by students. A vocabulary pool is maintained, allowing students to contribute their own words. Digital books for collective learning are provided, and on occasion, additional videos, not included in the syllabus but offering a deeper understanding than traditional textbooks, are also shared. In this digital age, as the level of learning advances, the variety of learning resources diversifies.
