Variety in teaching resources can make learning more engaging and effective. Students learning German at Naxxar Middle School are using different hands-on activities whilst using various learning tools. When doing the topic of Essen & Trinken, learning was not limited to visuals as students also got the chance to taste a Bratwurst.
Year 8 students learning German at Naxxar Middle school had the opportunity to plan and organise a party.
Students worked in groups to write invitations in German and discuss how they are going to organise the party whilst using the target langauge. Lastly they got to enjoy some time outside of the classroom and enjoy the party which they organised themselves.
