Program Description
The Canadian Summer School in Germany (CSSG) offers university-level language and culture studies in Kassel, in a unique and intensive immersion program.
The CSSG is organized under the auspices of the Canadian Association of University Teachers of German (CAUTG) and offers courses at the intermediate and advanced level. For a period of approximately 6 ½ weeks, students participate in a full course (approximately 85 hours of classroom instruction) and in numerous additional activities: lectures at various museums, visits to theatres and operas, excursions to cities with cultural and historical significance, and a four-day trip to Berlin.
The main feature of the program, though, is the students’ rapid progress in linguistic skills enhanced mainly by the fact that they are immersed in German life, culture, and civilization.
In 2007 the CSSG Tandem Partner Project was launched, whereby Canadian students are matched to German students at the University of Kassel with the aim of improving speaking skills in the students’ non-native language.
