Brigitte Buehler-Probst

Brigitte Buehler-Probst is a German native from Berlin who holds degrees in
Anthropology (Dr. phil/Ph.D.) and teaching German as a second language (Gruenes
Diplom, Goethe Institute Boston). She has taught language, cultural studies, and
intercultural communication classes in Germany and in the USA since 2008. In her
lessons, she attaches great importance to the didactic and methodological principle of
action orientation. This method enables students to understand German speakers
quickly, to follow reading and listening texts and to express their own opinions in
German. In the classroom, authentic communication situations are simulated in pair
and group work until all the skills necessary for the intended learning goal have been
acquired.
