The Journal of the Pedagogical Section of Goetheanum Midsummer 2013 [antikvár]

! introductionDear Participants of the First World Conference for Language Teachers, dear Colleagues,We are very happy to present you with this special edition of the circular which includes several lectures and contributions from the plenary sessions of the foreign language conference. We would like to thank the speakers very much for putting some of their contributions in writing! This will enable all of you to work on some of the contents of the First World Language Teachers' Conference within your own teachers' meetings.Some contributions have not yet been translated into other languages and these will be included in the Michaelmas Edition of the circular. We trust you will sympathise!After the conference we received lots of positive and grateful feedback and the desire was expressed to continue with this work. We are only too pleased to be involved in this.In the meantime we do hope that, in your language departments, you will work with, practise, research and develop what you have heard, and continue to gather the experience which will then provide the foundation for the next conference.Our next step could then be to build on these practical experiences and prepare another conference very much in the spirit of continuing and developing the theme of foreign language teaching. This would allow us to take further positive steps in our teaching methods and underlying preparatory work.Here at the Pedagogical Section we hope that everybody will implement some of the impulses given, in all the age groups and different parts of their schools.With this in mind we are sending you our best wishes from the Goetheanum for your on-going good work with pupils, parents and colleagues.Your Pedagogical Section
