German Language Acquisition Program

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

MUSIC AND MOVEMENT EDUCATION: Music classes are planned with the Orff-Schulwerk approach, aiming for children to experience music and movement as a natural unity. This method combines sound, rhythm, dance, and improvisation, providing a learning environment where children can freely express their creativity. Our goal is to nurture children who incorporate music as a natural part of their lives and develop as creative individuals.

The activities included in music education are:

  • Voice Studies: Children explore their voices and express themselves through speaking and singing.
  • Rhythm Studies: Basic rhythmic skills are developed using instruments such as tambourines, maracas, drums, and rhythm sticks.
  • Movement and Dance Studies: Music and body coordination are supported through improvisational movements.
  • Group Studies: Collaboration and team spirit are enhanced to strengthen the skills of making music together.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Physical education which has a significance as big as cognitive education in the preschool period, targets the development of children’s physical health and skills. For this purpose, lessons are applied in accordance with age groups. Primarily, in the lessons, it is aimed to develop natural movements such as running, climbing, and jumping by teachers who are experts in their fields. At the same time basic physical education lessons teach team sports such as basketball, volleyball, football etc.

VISUAL ARTS: Children’s nature has a strong impulse to express themselves. The visual arts class aims to help students express their imagination and creative energies through artistic activities. Activities are conducted to ensure the mental development of students, hand-eye-brain coordination, planning, implementation, and conclusion of their thoughts. By supporting students to produce in line with their individual characteristics, abilities and interests, the works produced with the inspiration of national and international artists are analysed. It contributes to the motor, intellectual and emotional development of the student who works on a wide range of materials from various paints, paper, and cardboard to ceramic clay.

GERMAN DRAMA: The goal of teaching German through creative drama is to learn, speak, and develop a positive motivation towards German as a foreign language effectively and permanently. Through the methods and techniques of creative drama, students’ imaginations flourish, and their social and emotional development is enhanced. They develop a sense of responsibility and heightened empathy awareness. Students encounter new cultures and gain fresh experiences through different social roles and settings, and creative drama offers them platforms where they can freely and comfortably express their thoughts. Together with creative drama methods, students learn German in a relaxed and safe environment, enjoying the process and becoming proficient in expressing themselves effectively in German. The contributions of drama to listening, understanding, and expressing skills through experiential learning are undeniably significant. From preschool, children learn a foreign language through role-playing and enactment, gaining practical experience for situations they may encounter. All these aspects strengthen children’s academic and social development as well as their self-confidence.
