Opportunities for primary and secondary teachers

Spanish

The University of Salamanca offers scholarships for teachers of Spanish abroad. These include a one-week course on language, culture, and teaching methods, available between June and July 2025. The scholarship covers accommodation, meals, and cultural activities, but participants need to cover a small enrolment fee (215 euros) and their own travel expenses.

It is open to teachers who haven’t attended similar programs in the last three years. Applications are accepted until slots are filled. More details here.

German

German Club: "Wuschel auf der Erde"

Set up a German Club in your German class with new resources and let your pupils discover the German language through the enchanting new main characters Wuschel and Miki, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, as well as other club formats. Comprehensive teaching materials are available for teachers, both German teachers, non-specialists and students interested in leading a club. 

Find information about the book and setting up a German Club here.

Support from the Goethe-Institut

The Goethe-Institut provides a wide array of resources and programmes, including their Gimagine materials, to assist teachers, learners and schools in teaching German. All of these resources and programmes are accessible on their website here.
