Topics: 1. Why do I do this? Background in German Studies ("Age of Goethe"). Work with pedagogy: K-16, and not just languages; interests in standards and assessment; interest in "Content-Based Instruction" (CBI) for languages (use a subject area to teach a language); interest in similarly innovative pedagogies (team-based learning, community-based learning, place-based learning); sustainability. For details: my website, "Projects & Publications" and the courses related to CBI, "SpeakEasy", and Humboldt. 2. Alexander von Humboldt - the man (or - as Ruppke has it - the men), his work, his times 3. My "Humboldt Project" 4. My "Humboldt SINQ" - if it ever happens 5. Study and research opportunites related to Humboldt, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) |
