I am a trainer in the Goethe Institut Trainer Network because the exchange with my colleagues in high schools during the workshops benefits me as well as them. I like to contribute to bridging the communication gap between high schools and college faculty so that students have the chance to advance further in their German proficiency through a longer sequence of instruction.
