About the GLSC
The German Language School Conference and its associated German language schools in the United States deserve high recognition for their long-lasting commitment to teaching the German language. Their important work enables Americans to build a bridge to a culture closely tied to their own and prepares them for rewarding careers.
The success of GLSC testifies to the strong commitment of parents and students in the United States who understand the importance of foreign language education. Knowledge of a foreign language is still the first step towards building an international career. German is a key language in the European and international marketplaces. Those who learn German are improving their career chances worldwide.
Fostering international relations is unthinkable without understanding each other’s language. As our globalized world is getting smaller, our own horizon must broaden, and language is the medium which enables us to grow in this direction. Students will find that their knowledge of German not only opens up a number of academic, professional and cultural opportunities for them, but also provides access to the foundations of Western thought and culture.
I congratulate the German Language School Conference on its tireless efforts and encourage you to continue pursuing excellence in foreign language instruction. Please be assured of my continuous support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Klaus Scharioth, Ambassador
