SPRICHST DU DEUTSCH? WHY NOT?
We are asking for your participation in raising more interest in German Language Education!
As the umbrella organization of German Saturday schools, we would like your support in joining our national multimedia campaign to raise more interest in German Language Education launching on February 21, International Mother Language Day.
Remember, if you need customized "Sprichst du deutsch? Why Not?" flyers or posters for your school, please contact us.
Founded in 1978, the German Language School Conference (GLSC) is the only national organization dedicated to the needs of community-based German language schools in the United States. Our mission is to link member schools with a central organization for information and support. We assist in the establishment of new language schools and provide a forum for sharing experiences and advice.
The GLSC serves as a resource to language schools for best practices, administrative information and policies to further our common goals of maintaining and fostering the language and culture of German speaking countries in the US. We represent the interests of our member schools to German and US government agencies, professional organizations and other stakeholders.
EVENTS
The GLSC offers networking opportunities for educators and administrators. We organize a yearly professional development conference in cooperation with the German Consulate General in New York, which is geared to the special concerns of German language schools.
Each spring, we offer a Writing Contest (Schreibwettbewerb) with the winning entries presented at the conference.
