Immersion Weekend 2007
Do you have a basic knowledge of German (minimum 30 hours tuition)?Would you like to “immerse yourself” in German language and culture without leaving Canberra?
If so, Das Zentrum’s famous immersion weekend is for you. It consists of language sessions and workshops for adult learners (year 11 & 12 college students welcome) at the levels of continuing beginners, intermediate and advanced (other levels may be available depending on demand). Previous participants are welcome – the successful format is unchanged, but the content will be all new.
The weekend starts on Friday evening with an introductory session, class placement and a film screening (in German with English subtitles), and continues on Saturday with language classes and special interest workshops. The language classes will focus on Deutsch im Alltag (German in everyday situations), as well as on Landeskunde (background studies). Speaking and listening skills will be specially trained. The workshops on Saturday afternoon will cover such diverse topics as creating a sketch and/or play, writing a quiz, singing and much more. The aim is to present the results of the workshops to the other participants on Saturday evening, which in previous years was a lot of fun!
And when you are not hard at work: The program includes a buffet dinner on Friday evening and a Kaffee und Kuchen buffet on Saturday afternoon after the workshops. As a conclusion and grand finale to a successful weekend – “the Show”: a dinner with live entertainment (your presentations!).
We are particularly pleased that this year our very hard-working teachers from Canberra are once again joined by language instructors from the Goethe Institut Sydney.
