This series of workshops focused听on the theme of diversity as a key point of contact between A-level German teaching, where it features both as a highlighted aspect of contemporary society and as a theme in prescribed literary works and films, and current work in German at University level, where it represents a core principle in curriculum development and broader institutional priorities.

The series comprised five one-hour online workshops between November 2023 to March 2024 and a concluding in-person event.
Each workshop was led by a member of the German Section at the 澳门六合彩开奖记录, and was structured so as to enable discussion and exchange. Starting from aspects of the topic covered in A-level teaching (e.g. heritage, multiculturalism), sessions connected these to elements of University teaching of the topic and to current research in the field, providing a chance to prepare and exchange targeted, accessible extension materials and exercises.

The series aimed:
- To share insights into the centrality of diversity, as a theme and as a disciplinary and institutional priority.
- Through these insights, (a) to contribute to raising attainment in languages by providing resources to enrich A-level teachers鈥� subject knowledge and which can be used in the classroom; and (b) to enrich University provision, especially in first year, by increasing understanding of current approaches at A-level.
- To inform advice for students on course choices (both GCSE to A-level, and A-level to University) by highlighting current developments in approaches to material from the German-speaking world on University courses.
- To develop online lecture resources.
- To develop networks among teachers and between teachers and academics that will sustain future outreach work in the subject.
