Teaching principles
German curricula
Our target group
Going Green is designed for a target group of intermediate-advanced English learners in grades 10 and above of the German Gymnasium. Yet, our experience shows that younger learners as well as participants at vocational and other secondary schools can work with the curriculum. Our survey of the 16 state curricula for English underlines that sustainability/environmentalism and the cultural framework of the U.S. are represented in all parts of Germany. The overview below lists different points of departure for integrating Going Green teaching contents in regular classes.
Adjusting the curriculum
The suggested curriculum can be easily adapted to different contexts and target groups. Think of it as an invitation to incorporate new teaching and learning resources into your classes as well as a strong connection to learning with digital media and authentic resources.
