Deutscher Samstag: German Immersion Day at the University of North Texas (UNT)
Are you interested in daylong total immersion in German with high school
students?
On Saturday, April 12, 2008, students, teachers, and Germanophiles from
throughout the region will gather at the University of North Texas in Denton
for a morning filled with the sights and sounds of Germany.
As you arrive, you enter a world where German opens all of the doors.
- You receive a passport that accompanies you throughout the day as you participate
in non-competitive, hands-on activities.
- You meet other students at your level in your Konversationsgruppe, where
you have a guided transition into the German-only environment (or, if you
are an advanced student, you lead one).
- You then proceed to seminars and workshops of your choice where you can
explore aspects of German-speaking countries that you would not experience
in a traditional classroom setting.
- You hear and speak German with seminar leaders and their peers while learning
about the modern and traditional cultures in which the language is spoken.
- The souvenirs you take away from the experience are not only scrapbook
items and a t-shirt, but also a new confidence and passion for the language.
Advanced Speakers: Here’s Something for You!
- Stammtischleiter:
This is for native speakers, advanced students, and exchange students
who would be willing to serve as StammtischleiterInnen. These students will
encourage and assist other students in speaking German during lunch.
- Advantaged Speaking Assistants:
This includes all native speakers, advanced students, and exchange
students who would be willing to assist with conversation groups and/or
seminars.
If you are interested, please provide the following to your instructor
before Spring Break:
- Your name and contact information (phone and e-mail).
- Your course number or level.
- $15.
- Your T-shirt size (S, M, L, XL, or XXL).
- Yes, if you want to serve as StammtischleiterInnen or
No, if you do not.
- Yes, if you want to serve as an Advantaged Speaking Assistant
or No, if you do not.
