American Association of Teachers of German

In the same way that you take conversing in foreign languages for granted, you get down to business with your mobile phone as though it's the most natural thing in the world. It has become a pocket-size film camera and cinema screen.

Join in and send us your mobile phone video on the subject of multilingualism.

We are looking for spontaneous ideas and discoveries as well as fully thought-out art works. What counts is your imagination. Show us why it‘s cool to be able to speak as many languages as possible!

The closing date for entries is October 6, 2008.
The winners will be notified in writing.

Looking for a German position or are you retiring and need someone to take your place? 

This email list identifies and provides information about teaching positions in German at all levels of instruction. The list is moderated, which means that job listings will be verified for their accuracy before being posted. Subscribers will receive postings with information on available positions.

Deutsche Welle and the portal young-germany.de are entering an online-partnership. Multimedia-based information and language-learning content will be integrated into the Website for international young elites. These include the Deutsche Welle’s language courses “Radio D” and Mission Berlin”. Users can practice their listening comprehension in the category “Deutsch@YG”. “Radio D” is the current audio language course by the Deutsche Welle, in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut (www.goethe.de). And “Mission Berlin” is a mystery story for German beginners. The multimedia-based content of both offerings provides playful access to the German language, culture and society.

Congratulations to the following AATG members who have recently received awards, or published or edited books!
