Language Promotion at the DISD
Our children grow up multilingual—with German at the center. In kindergarten, we promote language holistically in everyday life: through play, singing, crafts, and storytelling. In accordance with the Thuringian education plan, our teachers design every activity with language in mind. Through listening exercises and interactive picture book viewing, we strengthen vocabulary, language comprehension, and the joy of learning German.
German as a Foreign Language (DaF)
DISD offers targeted German as a foreign language support for multilingual children. In accordance with the framework plan for German schools abroad, children receive language lessons in small groups three times a week. The aim is to build up vocabulary, grammar, and language comprehension so that all children are optimally prepared for school.
Language assessment
From the age of 4, we conduct language assessments as needed to individually assess each child's level of development and support needs. Results are discussed with parents, progress is regularly reviewed, and each child's multilingualism is taken into account.
Involvement of parents
Parents are important partners in language development. In our DaF parents' café, personal conversations, and regular email updates, we provide information about the progress of support and give practical tips and media recommendations for everyday life at home.
