German for Improvers
The German for Improvers group meets weekly on Mondays 2 – 3.30 pm in Studio 3 at Chequer Mead Theatre.
The emphasis is on speaking and listening practised through group work and audio clips. We explore and practise grammar points in a fun way, and we constantly review new vocabulary. We also read texts relating to, for example, up-to-date events, transport, health, the media, travel, etc. Seasonal topics throughout the year help raise cultural awareness, and members also share their experiences of German-related interests and visits.
The group has an email connection with an adult learners’ English class in East Grinstead’s German twin town
Mindelheim. We exchange texts on agreed subjects, enabling each group to practise reading and translating skills.
The convener is a qualified tutor of German with extensive experience teaching in Adult and Further Education, as well as in u3a settings.
Room hire costs are shared between group members in accordance with the u3a policy, and there is a small charge to cover weekly handouts and language resources.
