BLENDED LEARNING

Combine on-site learning with learning online

Language training is no longer something you can only do in a language school, a company or in your teacher’s home – it can now be organized anywhere at any time. Integrating short periods of face to face intensive training into online courses increases learning output, particularly when learning German for work. As a result, TREFFPUNKT-ONLINE has launched two carefully designed blended learning programs that combine on-site and online lessons.

Course program 1: online – on-site (school/company) – online

Online 1-1 + mini group + online 1-1

We offer this program in cooperation with language schools all over Germany. This option allows you to alternate individual online lessons with mini-group lessons at a language close to your company or at your place of work.  read more / mehr lesen

Course program 2: online – Home Tuition – online

Online 1-1 + teacher’s house 1-1 + online 1-1

This training is extremely intensive as German is only taught on a one-to-one basis. Individual online lessons with your own private teacher are supplemented by a week in a German teacher’s home. During this week you will live with your teacher, learning around the clock – 24/7.  read more / mehr lesen

Advantages of on-site training

To become a confident German speaker, you need to immerse yourself in the language. The best way to do this is to take intensive courses in your German teacher’s house (Home Tuition) or at the language school / in your company.

• professional instruction from German native speakers
• immediate feedback motivates and inspires
• a seamless transition from Skype sessions

For classroom instruction at the school in Bamberg:

• Organized accommodation in a hotel, guest house or private room
• Group lessons with other international course participants 
• Leisure activities offered by the school

Home Tuition Program:

• Transport to Bamberg
• Accommodation and meals at your teacher’s home (hotel also possible)
• All meals taken with your teacher.
• Not only lessons, but also individual practice sessions and joint activities such as sightseeing, hiking, cycling, brewery, theater and concert visits to give you plenty of chances to speak and listen to German.

Course content

Courses can focus on a variety of areas. Just let us know your preferences. If you choose German at work, you / your employees will learn to communicate with customers, employees, in meetings or at trade fairs. You will also learn to write emails and reports, post information on the company website or create presentation slides. We work with specific vocabulary and idioms commonly used in the profession and industry sector.

Typical aims of participants:

• to speak more fluently
• to react spontaneously
• to actively use new vocabulary
• to consolidate grammar
• to improve pronunciation
• to write more efficiently and effectively
• to speak confidently and persuasively

You / your staff will quickly discover how effective it is to have live online training with your teacher. You will work with content that is entirely relevant to you while remaining flexible in terms of location and time. Intensive onsite courses in the company / school or at your teacher’s house will give you a special boost, helping you to learn and consolidate your knowledge in the shortest possible time.

Trainers

All teachers are native speakers qualified to teach German as a foreign language. Many have additional qualifications, from law, finance, IT and mechanical engineering to philology, sports, health and more. They are certified full-time teachers of German with professional experience in both online and face-to-face teaching. Not only will your German training be professional, it will also motivate you as a learner, taking you forward and making the process enjoyable.
