Short and sweet

Dr. Judith Rivers: There must be a German women's national football team! – Using the film in various ways in German as a foreign language

How can we use our students’ interest in women’s football to enhance their language knowledge and skills, introduce them to the language of films and at the same time promote critical thinking, creativity and intercultural understanding? This training seminar presents many practical examples for different age groups and levels on how to integrate film elements (including film trailers, trailers, etc.) into German as a foreign language lesson and use them in a variety of ways.
