June 2021

The German program congratulates Issac Caswell and Olivia Duffy, the first "SPARK for German" instructor team from Texas State University, who completed a semester-long internship teaching German language and culture to a small group of middle school students from San Marcos, Austin, and Round Rock. "SPARK for German" is a joint project of the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) and the Goethe-Institut. It helps train future German instructors and gets American students learning German as early as elementary school.
