But how can this linguistic richness be brought into the classroom?<\/p>\n In this workshop, we present a ready-to-use teaching unit in which students become treasure hunters of their own linguistic environment. Armed with an app, they set out to discover and photograph multilingual signs at school, in the streets, and in other public spaces. Back in the classroom, they\u00a0analyse\u00a0their findings together and reflect on language, identity, and diversity.<\/p>\n The unit is designed for direct use in German as a foreign language classes and promotes not only language skills but also digital literacy and intercultural awareness. During the workshop, we will take you through the treasures uncovered by German students and show you how to bring this experience into your own classroom.<\/p>\n 12.20 <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dr Ruth Whittle, University of Birmingham (moderation: Regina Seiwald, University <\/strong>of Birmingham)<\/strong><\/p>\n Talking about people: using GAI for language learning (auf Deutsch)<\/p>\n 13.00 \u2013 14.15 \u00a0Mittagspause \u2013 Lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n mit der M\u00f6glichkeit, den Campus (besser) kennenzulernen Afternoon:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 14.15\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Welcome by the Head of School, Prof Emma Tyler<\/strong><\/p>\n 14.30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Building sustainable networks: <\/strong><\/p>\n Representatives from The Languages Gateway, LanguagesForAll together with our UoB Schools Liaison Officer, Edward Boothroyd speak about how the different initiatives for promoting languages work together and what support teachers can expect from UoB<\/p>\n \u00a015.15 \u00a0\u00a0 Making languages sustainable in schools in the Midlands: a poster workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a creative workshop where groups of participants design a poster which highlights the value of learning languages. 16.00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Poster presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n 16.30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Drinks reception<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Living the Language: University of Birmingham Alan Walters Building G11 Wednesday, 10 June 2026, 9.30 \u2013 16.30 Morning: From 9.00 Registration 9.30\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Welcome:\u00a0 von der\u00a0gastgebenden\u00a0Uni,\u00a0vom\u00a0DAAD-Team und\u00a0vom\u00a0Goethe-Institut 9.45 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Auf\u00a0Schatzsuche\u00a0mit\u00a0dem\/der GEM\u00a0 What German Expert Mentors can bring to the German classroom: mentoring and CPD;\u00a0example in practice \u00a010.45 – 11.00\u00a0Kaffeepause \u00a011.00 \u00a0\u00a0 Charlotte Ryland (Oxford, Queen\u2019s … Continue reading “Living the Language Programme”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2393,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[64,63,62],"class_list":["post-267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-daad-project","tag-living-the-language-event","tag-uob"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2393"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":270,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267\/revisions\/270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bham.ac.uk\/germannetworknow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Wednesday, 10 June 2026, 9.30 \u2013 16.30<\/h1>\n
