GOLDEN: German On-Line Distance Education Network is offering a semester long three hour graduate course in Instructional Planning for the German Language Classroom on line this fall. Read below for details! GOLDEN, an Interactive on-line teacher development project, sponsored by AATG, the Goethe Institute and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln offers German teachers an innovative distance learning course on Instructional Planning via the web. Participants can earn 3 graduate credits this fall (October 15, 2000 to Febuary 15, 2001) from the University of Nebraska/Lincoln. This interactive asynchronous learning environment allows participants to work individually, in small groups and with instructors in the context of planning instruction for your German classroom. Five interactive features allow the participants to interact with instructors and peers alike. The course will be taught by Dr. Ali Moeller, University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Dr. Klaus Brandl, University of Washington. The course consists of nine units, or explorations that include: planning short and long term instruction; developing communicative skills; introducing grammar structures; moving from input to output; teaching for diversity/motivation; internet-based lessons; testing, assessment and evaluation. The course is limited to 15 participants.
