Experiential Module

Master's Project for the MA in Foreign Language Teaching

German Resource Hub: Resources for Communicative German Language Education

The Experiential Module (EM) is the capstone project for the MAFLT program. Projects vary from student to student, but the goal is for the student to synthesize all prior learning and experience to create something of practical pedagogical benefit to themselves and other language teachers. For my EM, I chose to create an organized, searchable/filterable, curated directory and collection of resources intended for communicative German language education. Below you can find my rationale and reflective essay for the EM, as well as links to a video tour of the website and the teacher's guide I created to give teachers pedagogical suggestions for using the resources. The website itself is no longer active due to the constraints of maintaining a website.

EM Project Rationale

The link below will take you to my rationale for German Resource Hub, which includes a review and discussion of similar resources, information on guiding principles of resource curation and design, and references for all sources that informed the project.
