| Title | Deutsche Sommerschule von New Mexico |
| Body | From http://www.unm.edu/~fll/german/about.html June 20-July 21, 2006 The Deutsche Sommerschule von New Mexico is located in the Taos Ski Valley, a picturesque village nestled in the Sangre de Christo Mountains of Northern New Mexico. In close proximity to Taos and Santa Fe, Taos Ski Valley has the charm of an Alpine village. This secluded and beautiful site allows students to focus on participating fully in a German-speaking environment. The Deutsche Sommerschule von New Mexico welcomes students of all ages, backgrounds, and interests dedicated to expanding their knowledge of the German language and culture. During the entire 4 ½ week stay, all participants pledge to speak only German, both inside and outside the classroom. Due to this total immersion approach, students often gain near-native fluency or advance an entire level. Our broad curriculum consists of undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as workshops on many aspects of German language and culture. Participants can focus on literature, culture, history, politics, or performing arts. Students choose courses appropriate to their level and interest, from third-year language classes to graduate seminars. In addition, we offer a lecture series with changing themes that emulates study at a German university. The 2006 lecture series centers on Total Global? Zwischen lokalen Traditionen und globaler Kultur, and presents current trends in German-speaking countires. Our curriculum is further complemented by evening presentations and lectures by visiting scholars, authors-in-residence, artists-in-residence, and guest lecturers. This year, our two-week Teacher Training Seminars are taught by three experts. These seminars are of interest to anybody currently teaching German or preparing for a teaching career in German. It offers hands-on advice to teachers at all levels who want to gain advanced credits, increase their oral proficiency, and enhance their overall teaching efficiency. Teachers may attend the whole session or just the second-half of the program from July 5 to July 21, 2006. For more information, visit http://www.unm.edu/~fll/german/about.html . |
