Description

As part of Buffalo State University’s IPDS (International Professional Development Schools) Germany program, I was granted the opportunity to spend two weeks observing in various schools around Stuttgart, Germany. This study focuses on the methods and practices used to teach English (foreign language) in German schools, and the quick rate at which students appear to pick up the language. The findings of this study could be beneficial to schools in the United States as they may consider using similar practices to teach foreign languages, which would in turn increase students’ literacy skills.
