Curious to explore a career as a German teacher and find a meaningful job while pursuing what you love? Eager to polish up your German skills next summer at Middlebury’s German School? The Goethe-Institute is offering scholarships in support of German language acquisition for instructors in the SPARK for German program (see attached flyer for more details). The scholarship could be a great way of advancing your German skills.
SPARK is a program designed to reach K-12 students and teach them German. UChicago students create lesson plans and will soon begin working with students at Kenwood Academy, and possibly beyond! Through thematic learning, the program aims to provide access to German language instruction through face to face meetings and lots of fun activities (of our own design). And of course, please reach out to Prof. Nicole Burgoyne ([email protected]) or Peter Camporeale ([email protected]) to learn more about the SPARK program and how you can become involved!

Dear UChicago German Club!
Have you worked in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland? As part of my efforts to develop a new German language course I'd like to interview you about your experiences. My main interest is your use of German vs. English in the workplace. Based on your input I will develop assignments and activities to prepare students for real world situations.
Please email me at [email protected],

Hope everyone enjoyed their sommer! We're excited to share a book reading opportunity on Tuesday, Oct 15 at 4:30 pm with the German Department. We will be looking at Das Judaskreuz, a historical crime novel by William Boehart.

The Goethe-Institut in Chicago is looking for volunteers for a ten-week program in the fall of 2019. Participants will receive $350 to work with a program designed to teach children ages 8-12 basic German and science concepts simultaneously as part of their German + STEM in After-School Programs: The German Digital Kinderuniversity, which will take place between October and December 2019.
Here's the Goethe-Institut's blurb for the program! If you're interested, contact Nicole Burgoyne ([email protected]) from the UChicago German Department.
STEM and German are a winning combination: German is considered, after English, one of the key languages used in science professionally and in research. In the US and Germany there is genuine demand for STEM professionals, so students combining STEM and language competencies have access to a wealth of academic and professional opportunities. Bringing STEM and German language learning together is at the heart of the Goethe-Institut’s STEM initiatives.
This fall, the Goethe-Institut, Germany’s cultural and language institute, will work together with schools at elementary and middle school level to offer free after-school programs in German and STEM. These programs are based on the resources of the German Digital Kinderuniversity, an educational project introducing STEM-topics and basic German language at the same time.
Our selected trainers from high schools and universities will present these afternoon sessions on a weekly basis for up to 10 weeks in the fall of 2019.
We are currently looking university students with a good command of German who are interested in participating in this project as trainers.
What we offer:
- a lump-sum honorarium of $350 for up to 10 after-school sessions of ‘German and STEM' for students between the ages of 8 and 12 years between Oct. and Dec. 2019
- introduction to the modules and resources of the German Digital Kinderuniversity
- didactic training and guidance by the Goethe-Institut Chicago
- an opportunity to gather teaching experience with kids
- a certificate of participation
What we ask for:
- motivated students with a good command of the German language, affinity with STEM and interest in working with kids at elementary and middle schools
- commitment to conducting up to 10 after-school sessions at a school - commitment to attending the (online) introductory seminar in September
- commitment to evaluating this program by the end of 2019.

“The greatest period in German philosophy—the Age of Idealism extending roughly from 1790 to 1830—is unthinkable without Goethe, who inspired and interacted with the most important philosophers of his time," Wellbery told The Maroon.

"Kuhle Wampe or Who Owns the World"
A Weimar period masterpiece, in which an avant-garde, fragmented narrative is used to tell the story of a working-class family in Berlin in 1931.
Survival is difficult, with massive unemployment in the wake of the Great Depression. After Anni's brother commits suicide in despair, her family finds itself forced to move to Kuhle Wampe, a lakeside camp on the outskirts of Berlin, now home to increasing numbers of unemployed. When Anni's relationship with Franz ends, she moves back to Berlin and gets involved in the workers' youth movement.
