The Regional Directorate for Education and Training, in a partnership with the German Institute – Goethe Institute, organised a casting of schoolbooks for teaching German, an event which took place at the Tomás Borba Vieira Secondary School in Angra do Heroísmo this week.
The initiative brought together 20 teachers from several Azorean Islands, Madeira, Lisbon and from Berlin who comprehensively analysed the schoolbooks for learning that language in the Azores in the 5th, 7th and 10th forms, whether under the regular curriculum, whether in vocational training.
This meeting enabled the exchange of teaching materials, experiences, ideas and contacts, thus representing an opportunity to speak the German language in a real context with native speakers, a rare and fundamental occasion for the foreign language teachers.
