The AATG and its supporters are stepping up for German!

We at the AATG are thrilled to announce a landmark pledge of $1,000,000 for a new endowment to support university-level students of German. In the wake of waning support among some higher-education institutions in the US, we are adding support for students, programs, and teachers.

There's this myth that the USA doesn't value language learning. Quite the opposite! In almost all of the elite college prep schools, elite universities, and in elite training programs for the government, language learning is very well funded and promoted. It's not a secret that multilingualism provides extra-disciplinary benefits; the secret is that so many students in the US don't have access to programs. This new endowment is one important step in lowering barriers and creating new paths of access for students.

Why Endowments?

AATG focuses much of its fundraising efforts on building designated endowments. These endowments offer donors the ability to know that their funds will be used for specific purposes, now and in the future. These gifts may only be used for the donor's designated purpose and may not be reallocated. The funds are perpetually invested and are governed by an investment policy statement in line with our overall policies. Our funds are professionally managed (currently by Raymond James) and our financial partner is also bound by these governing documents. This may sound technical, but it’s key to ensuring that donations can be trusted to go to the right place! The AATG currently has three active, dedicated endowments and is looking to add more based on donor interest.

Friends of AATG Endowment AATG Endowed Scholarship Fund AATG Professional Development Endowed Fund (Added in 2021) The new endowment will be added to this list once active. For a general financial overview of AATG, see www.aatg.org/aatg-financial-overview.

What can you do?

AATG is a member-driven organization that relies on your participation. Beyond membership, donations (www.aatg.org/products/donations) of any amount to a designated endowment help those funds grow. The Endowed Scholarship Fund has grown steadily since 1997 into a fund that currently offers 25 students the opportunity to study in Germany each summer! Our newest active fund, the professional development fund, is dedicated solely to supporting German teachers.

Think Big! There are almost 4,000 institutions that offer German in the US. AATG is well positioned to be the hub of support for students and programs, and we have worked for decades to be in this space. As this latest news indicates, we are ready and able to receive larger donations and establish new endowments, either by outright gift or estate bequest.

If you, a friend, family member, or even a neighbor has the ability and wishes to explore starting a new endowment to support German, or wish to include a fund in your estate planning, reach out for an initial conversation (mike@aatg.org).

Conversely, if you are a teacher or student, please apply to enjoy the results of our fundraising. Donors to this so that you and your students benefit, so please apply! www.aatg.org/annual-programs

IMPLICIT BIAS

By Jennifer Bennett, AATG DEI Committee Member

DEI CORNER Herzlich Willkommen in the Herbst DEI Corner! Arguably one of the hardest parts of starting the anti-bias work necessary for an equitable classroom experience is recognizing our own implicit biases. By their nature, implicit biases are virtually invisible to us until we specifically look for them, and only once we identify them can we endeavor to break them down. For a powerful visual example of this point, I encourage you to view the (quick and entertaining) “Test Your Awareness” video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg6qcgoay4.

As bilingual or multilingual educators, often with extensive international and multicultural experience, we may think we are somehow less susceptible to, or have even overcome, our implicit biases, and that they play no role in our teaching. This thinking, however, points to a lack of understanding of the sneaky and unavoidable nature of implicit bias. Perhaps the easiest and quickest way to learn what biases we hold is to complete an implicit association test (IAT), the most popular of which are the Harvard Implicit Association Tests (implicit.harvard.edu). While these tests have their critics and may not be perfect (one of the main criticisms is of its scoring), the results of your Harvard IAT can be a very useful tool to guide you on your equity journey. Once you have identified your biases, you can undertake ways to combat them in your practices.

If you are looking to take your equity work to the next level, I encourage you to consider a reexamination of your grading practices. While it may not seem like a likely source of inequity - after all, all students in our classes are subjected to the same grading policies, right? - studies increasingly point to the way educators calculate grades as a major problem. In her March 17, 2023 article for Edutopia, “Why the 100-Point Grading Scale is a Stacked Deck,” Youki Terada gives an excellent overview of the “troubling history” of the American system and its “inherent flaws that carry over into the present day.” In his seminal book, Grading for Equity: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How It Can Transform Schools and Classrooms, Joe Feldman goes into even greater depth on the problematic history of American grading practices and their outdated ties to industrialization. Feldman establishes three pillars necessary for grading to be equitable for all students, explaining equitable grading policy must be transparent, bias-resistant, and motivating. Sadly, current grading practices are often none of these. The Grading for Equity website offers a quiz to get a sense of how equitable your grading system is, and is a great place to start: gradingforequity.org. Consider grading practices in the German-speaking world and how we might be able to apply concepts from Zeugnisse to bring transparency to our grading strategies.

We look forward to bringing you new DEI food for thought in each edition of Aktuelles, and welcome your feedback.

You can reach me and the other DEI committee members through our profiles at www.aatg.org/dei-committee.

Danke for your Aufmerksamkeit, and have a wonderful start to the school year.

DIE UNTERRICHTSPRAXIS/ TEACHING GERMAN Join Our Forum on Recruitment and Retention in German Education!

Karin Baumgartner, Co-Editor

Join Our Forum on Recruitment and Retention in German Education! We are thrilled with the success of our recent Forum on “(Re-) Discoveries in a Time of Disruption”. Check out the contributions in Volume 56, Issue 1, and look for more contributions in Issue 2 this fall.

Mark your calendars for the upcoming Forum titled "Recruitment and Retention: Strategies, Best Practices, and Challenges"! This promising forum is planned for next year, scheduled for publication in May 2024.

In recent years, German language programs across educational levels have encountered a series of trials – dwindling student interest, budget constraints, the pervasive focus on STEM subjects, among other factors. As a result, numerous programs face closure exemplified by the recent startling developments at the University of West Virginia. Yet, there are beacons of hope amidst these challenges. Initiatives like the Goethe Institute's collaboration with AATG, through the SPARK Program, are paving a way forward. This program has not only revitalized existing programs but stimulated the creation of new ones, enriched the pool of adept German educators, and advocated for the seamless integration of German into standard curricula across various educational levels.

We are looking for concise manuscripts (1,500 - 2,000 words) that showcase a spectrum of strategies and practices employed for student recruitment and retention. These can span elementary, middle, and high schools, community colleges, as well as universities and colleges. Contributions will share insights into the unique challenges of their programs, whether these are financial constraints, teacher shortages, administrative hurdles, or others, and offer practical insights into the strategies and practices implemented.

Matt Schulze, Co-Editor

Take us on your journey from analyzing needs to designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating your approach. The successful contribution shows how the intervention can be replicated in similar or diverse institutional settings and how it is sustainable. Preference will be given to manuscripts that include empirical evidence (comparative student numbers, retention, course progression rates, etc.) and/or demonstrate a sound theoretical basis. Contributions that address contexts other than the US are particularly encouraged as are contributions from elementary, middle, and high school teachers.

Submit your manuscripts by November 1, 2023 for full consideration through our online submission portal.

Here's our timeline: Deadline for Manuscript Submission: November 1, 2023 Peer Review Process: November 2023 to February 2024 Publication: May 2024 in Die Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German Should you have any questions or need clarifications, don't hesitate to reach out to Karin and Matt (unterrichtspraxis@gmail.com).

Let's tackle the challenges facing German language education together and share our recruitment and retention strategies with a broad audience. Your ideas are pivotal in shaping the future of German education. We eagerly anticipate your submissions!

2023 Summer Study Recap In 2023, a total of 152 students went abroad for three-to-four-week study abroad stays through programs organized by AATG and our German partners. We invite you to read more about each program and hear from some of our participants. All our study abroad programs are educational programs that include classes in Germany and homestays with German families, as well as excursions and visits to cultural and historical sites. Students also enjoy ample free time with their German and American peers and their host families to explore leisure activities in Germany.

NGE Scholarship The National German Exam Scholarship (formerly Study Trip Award) has been offered for over 60 years by the Federal Republic of Germany, through the German Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) and its Pedagogical Exchange Service (Pädagogischer Austauschdienst).

Students in the International Group (Internationales Preisträgerprogramm) traveled through Germany with prizewinners from other countries for four weeks. Students who were part of the Deutschland Plus program traveled to Germany for a threeweek stay with their fellow scholarship recipients and a US chaperone.

2023 Summer Study Recap Summer Study Program Our Summer Study Program for High School students is a three-week study abroad program which includes a two-week homestay with a German family and host sibling and one week of travel to a different German city – in 2022 and 2023, this city was Leipzig. Students attend classes with their host sibling and with their US group, go on excursions, enjoy leisure activities in Germany and improve their German by being immersed in the German language and culture 24/7.

They are accompanied by a US chaperone for the entire duration of the trip.

Learn more here: https://www.aatg.org/summer-study

College Summer Program Our College Summer Program launched in 2022 and is now in its second year. In 2023, seventeen US college students traveled to Bonn, Germany, for a four-week stay, co-organized by our German partners, Akademie für Internationale Bildung (AiB). Accompanied by their academic director, Ingrid Zeller (Northwestern U), students explored the Rhineland region on numerous excursions and study trips, and took German language classes as well as a cultural topics course in English.

Students also got to enjoy a taste of authentic everyday life in Germany by staying with host families in the city of Bonn.

Thank you, donors!

I spent months looking forward to this trip and actually being there was literally a dream come true. (...) I came back with a better understanding of German and tons of great memories.

I’m very thankful to our chaperone and tour guide, my host family, and everyone else who went on the trip. I hope to visit Germany again one day and learn even more.

- Sabrina, 2023 Käthe Wilson Scholarship Recipient

This trip really helped my speaking abilities, along with my confidence in them. I also grew so much as a person, and through this trip I have been able to become so much more independent. I couldn't thank the donors to my scholarship enough.

- Bryson, 2023 Endowed Fund Scholarship Recipient

This trip was truly an unforgettable experience. I was able to meet so many new people from Germany and the USA and improved my German as well. I cannot thank the people who sponsored this trip enough, as it was my first time in Europe. Thank you to everyone who donated to AATG and made this trip possible for me and many other students across the nation. Danke Schön!

- Jack, 2023 Endowed Fund Scholarship Recipient

Thank you, donors!

It’s safe to say that I had the best summer of my life. I learned so much and made so many memories that I will cherish forever. Experiencing a new culture definitely opened my eyes and mind and it was so special to actually visit the place I’ve been learning about for the past two years. Thank you so much to AATG and the Halle Foundation for giving me the opportunity to go on this amazing trip!

- Chase, 2023 Halle Scholarship Recipient

The 2023 Heidelberg AATG Summer Trip was one of the best experiences I have ever had and taught me so many new things about myself. I am so thankful for the Halle Foundation for generously donating the grant that made this trip possible for me. I also want to thank the organization, AATG, for conducting these summer trips to allow German-learning students, like me, to have an opportunity to experience German culture.

- Maddie, 2023 Halle Scholarship Recipient

My trip to Germany was absolutely worth taking. I will never forget the phenomenal memories I shared with my host family and American peers, the architecture and history we together witnessed, and my many impressions of German life. (...) The growth of my linguistic confidence extended more generally to my being; the challenges of living in a foreign country, as well as the accessibility of public transportation, made me more independent and resilient to change. I owe such thanks to the Halle Foundation, my host family, our chaperone Christina, and everyone who made the trip possible!

- Andes, 2023 Halle Scholarship Recipient

Member Testimonial: AATG Endowed Professional Development Fund Grant “I was a recipient of the ATTG Endowed PD Grant this year and I am following up with you after my Goethe Institut course that I used my grant for.

First of all, this was my first ever in person German course that I have ever taken and it was absolutely amazing to be in a room full of people also eager to learn and speak German. I took an intensive compact A 2.1 course in Berlin and stayed with a host family.

I really feel like my German improved more in these 2 weeks than in any other time learning German.

It was also very good for me to see how German families live so I can relate this to my students in the classroom. One example is "Mull sortieren". I have taught this previously, but didn't fully understand until I saw the different trash cans under the kitchen sink and the corresponding trash bins outside. Another cultural aspect that I have a better grasp of to help my students is the public transportation system of Germany. I was able to take the S-Bahn and U-Bahn almost everywhere!

This award has really given me the boost I needed to continue learning German and help the students in my classroom. I am now going to also encourage more of my students to look into either taking classes through GI or visiting German on an exchange program.

I recommend this grant to anyone in the future that needs more practice with their German, or doesn't feel comfortable speaking German in front of their students.

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity!”

-Aaron Clark, German Teacher, Southern Illinois AATG Chapter

Neues von der Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen (ZfA)

Liebe Kolleginnen, liebe Kollegen, mit Beginn des Schuljahres berichten wir über die vielen Möglichkeiten, die sich für Schüler:innen von DSD-Schulen ergeben: Von der Teilnahme an Jugend debattiert Veranstaltungen, über das Studium in Deutschland bis zur Teilnahme an einer Lesung des deutschen Erfolgsautors Thomas Brussig.

Wir wünschen allen Kolleginnen und Kollegen einen guten Start ins neue Schuljahr!

Herzlichst, Susanne Dreyer, houston@auslandsschulwesen.de

Auf großer Bühne in Berlin!

Die letztjährige Gewinnerin des Finales von Jugend debattiert Nordamerika, Romila Detering, war eingeladen, als Gast beim Bundesfinale Jugend debattiert in Berlin dabei zu sein. Im Folgenden ein paar ihrer Eindrücke: Meine Reise nach Berlin vertiefte mein Engagement mit Jugend debattiert und der internationalen deutschen Gemeinschaft. Am Anfang meiner Reise traf ich u.a. den Gründer von Jugend debattiert, Herrn Ansgar Kemmann und die Jugend debattiert Alumni Emily Vontz. Besonders toll war es, andere internationale Siegerinnen kennenzulernen.

Ich freundete mich mit den Gewinnerinnen der letzten Wettbewerbe in Südamerika und der iberischen Halbinsel an.

Zusammen besuchten wir die Reichstagkuppel, das Büro der Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen und das Auswärtige Amt. Den Gästen des Bundesfinales konnten wir in einem Interview auf der Bühne mitteilen, was Jugend debattiert für Deutschlernende in anderen Ländern bedeutet. Schließlich war ich Zeitwächterin in einem Halbfinale. Das große Finale war beeindruckend und hat uns das Debattieren auf höchstem Niveau gezeigt.

Meine Reise nach Berlin erlaubte mir Gespräche mit, Herrn Kemmann, den debattierenden Landessieger:innen und anderen Alumni.

Vor ein paar Wochen wurde ich nun offiziell ein Mitglied des Jugend debattiert Alumni Vereins, ich werde in Zukunft Veranstaltungen besuchen und Kontakt mit neuen Freunden halten. Auch in New York bin ich dabei, unsere kleine nordamerikanische Gemeinschaft zu stärken. Als Lehrerin bei Jugend debattiert Nordamerika und bei der Deutschen Sprachschule New York bin ich stolz darauf, dass ich zum weiteren Erfolg des Programms beitragen kann.

Meine Zeit in Berlin zeigte mir nicht nur, wie stark die Jugend debattiert Gemeinschaft in Deutschland ist, sondern auch wie weit entwickelt die internationale Gemeinschaft von engagierten deutschsprachigen Jugendlichen ist.

DSD-Programme an „Magnet Schools“ - ein erfolgreiches Konzept!

Auch in diesem Schuljahr wurden in Georgia im Schulbezirk DeKalb County an den sogenannten „Magnet Schools“ Chamblee Middle und Chamblee High School erneut viele DSD I und DSD II Prüfungen absolviert. An diesen Schulen gelten besondere erhöhte akademische Standards und es werden ebenfalls erhöhte Ansprüche an die Leistungen der Schüler der Deutschprogramme gestellt. Daher beginnen die Schülerinnen und Schüler in diesem Schulbezirk bereits in den Grundschulen voll-immersiv damit, Deutsch zu lernen, so dass sie darauf aufbauend, Deutsch als Pflichtfach in der Chamblee Middle School belegen können. Nach dem erfolgreichen Bestehen des DSD I an der Chamblee Middle School können die Schülerinnen und Schüler dann ihre Deutschkenntnisse an der Chamblee High School erweitern und dort mit dem DSD II erfolgreich abschließen.

Da das DSD II Diplom im Rahmen des „Studienticket-DSD“ die für ein Studium in Deutschland nötigen Sprachkenntnisse nachweist, ist das DSD II eine notwendige Zulassungsvoraussetzung für ein Studium an einer deutschen Hochschule. Bereits das DSD I weist Deutschkenntnisse auf B1-Niveau nach und ermöglicht damit den Zugang zum Studienkolleg in Deutschland.

Die Schülerinnen und Schüler der Chamblee High School können sehr stolz auf ihre DSD II Diplome sein und werden damit den Weg an eine deutsche Hochschule erfolgreich beschreiten können.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch und viel Erfolg an alle Absolventen dieser „Magnet Schools“!

Gemeinsam Deutschlernen macht Spaß – 15 Jahre Deutsche Samstagsschule Ann Arbor Am 6. Mai 2023 feierte die Deutsche Samstagsschule Ann Arbor ihr 15-jähriges Bestehen mit einem großen Fest.

Die Schule wurde 2007 von Yvonne Stevens, der heutigen Schulleiterin und Nicole Nessler-Stuhec ins Leben gerufen. Zu Beginn unterrichteten Eltern 9 Schülerinnen und Schüler.

2008 – mit der offiziellen Gründung der Schule – übernahmen Lehrkräfte den Unterricht und heute werden Deutschprogramme für alle Altersstufen angeboten, sowohl für Lerner mit muttersprachlichem Hintergrund als auch für Lerner ohne oder mit geringen Deutschkenntnissen.

Alle Schüler können von der ZfA (Zentralstelle für Auslandsschulwesen) angebotene Prüfungsformate absolvieren: Schüler der Elementary und Middle School können A1- und A2-Zertifikate erwerben, die auf das Deutsche Sprachdiplom vorbereiten. Schülern der oberen Jahrgänge eröffnet sich mit dem erfolgreichen Abschluss des DSD I Diploms (Niveau B1) und des DSD II Diploms (Niveau B2/C1) die Möglichkeit, ein Studium in einem deutschsprachigen Land zu absolvieren.

Die feierliche Übergabe der DSD II-Diplome zeugt von der großartigen Arbeit an der Schule: Alle Schülerinnen der DSS Ann Arbor bestanden die Prüfung auf C1 Niveau, 2 von ihnen planen, in Deutschland zu studieren.

Die Schule nimmt an vielen unterschiedlichen Wettbewerben, die von der ZfA organisiert werden, teil und arbeitet auch mit der University of Michigan zusammen, um sich am German Day mit 1000 SuS von ca. 30 Middle und High Schools aus dem Südosten Michigans in Kategorien wie Musik, Poesie, Kunst in deutscher Sprache zu messen. Es gibt Vorlesetage, Vorlesewettbewebe, Brieffreundschaften und in Zukunft soll Jugend debattiert implementiert werden.

Aber es wird nicht nur Deutsch gelernt, sondern es finden auch viele kulturelle Aktivitäten statt, wie z.B. Feiern zu St. Martin, Nikolaus, Fasching, Ostern und last but not least das heutige 15-jährige Jubiläum, das neben Ausstellungen, einer Schnitzeljagd, einem Maibaumtanz noch viele weitere Highlights bot.

Frau Stevens hat noch viel vor. Sie betont, dass ohne das Mitwirken aller Lehrkräfte und Eltern die Schule nicht dort wäre, wo sie heute ist. Es macht sie stolz zu sehen, dass die Schule die Schüler:innen dabei unterstützt, ihr Deutsch zu verbessern und ihre Ziele zu verwirklichen, dass sie die deutsche Kultur kennenlernen und das Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl gefördert wird. Frau Stevens träumt davon, ein Deutsches Sprach- und Kulturzentrum zu gründen, um die vielen deutsche Gruppen in Ann Arbor zu verbinden.

Thomas Brussig besucht die DSD-Schule Milwaukee School of Languages Der Autor Thomas Brussig besuchte im April die Milwaukee School of Languages und las uns aus seinem Roman “Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee” vor. Thomas Brussig wuchs in der DDR auf und hat viele Romane über das Leben in der DDR geschrieben. Nach einer Unterrichtseinheit zur DDR und der Wiedervereinigung war die Lesung ein toller Abschluss.

Zunächst stellte Thomas Brussig die Hauptcharaktere vor und las Passagen aus seinem Roman vor. Im Anschluss konnten die High School Schüler:innen der Milwaukee School of Languages Fragen zum Buch stellen. Besonders interessiert waren die Schüler:innen an den Charakteren und der Verfilmung, aber auch viele Fragen zu Brussigs eigenen Eindrücken von der DDR wurden gestellt. Für die Schüler:innen war es eine tolle Gelegenheit mit Thomas Brussig über sein Buch und seine Erfahrungen zu sprechen. Der Roman “Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee” wurde 2023 von Jonathan Franzen und Jenny Watson ins Englische übersetzt. Die Lesung wurde durch die ZfA und das Generalkonsulat Chicago ermöglicht.
