Target Level: B1-B2
Description:
The Green German Project, completed by faculty and students at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, offers a wide range of materials for teaching environmental topics in intermediate to advanced German courses. The materials were completed in 2011; as a result, some of the links and details are no longer up to date. Still, many of the topics, vocabulary lists, texts, discussion questions, and homework tasks may still be useful, either for use as-is or as one component of a new or updated module. The project web site offers the following description:
The Green German Project is a collection of open-access teaching materials and curricular resources related to sustainability and environmental topics. Developed for use by teachers, students, and curriculum designers, its intended audience is German language and culture courses at the intermediate–advanced level. Users are invited to adapt the materials to their own program needs. The developers gratefully acknowledge the support for the project provided by a Title VI grant through the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) in summer 2011.
