DiE-Days 2019
We’re planning the DiE-Days 2019 and we’d like to ask especially those who did not attend the conference 2018: If you are thinking of attending next year, can you please fill out the quick survey to help us find a good date for the conference? It would also help us if you state in the comments if you would also travel to Zug in Switzerland or if you prefer Konstanz for the location of the conference.

Drama in Language Teaching Podcast
You want to learn more about what colleagues at other schools and universities are doing, listen to conference reports and maybe find some inspiration for the semester or school year ahead? Then you can now tune in to the Drama in Language Teaching podcast. I‘ve just published the first episode. In the first episode I interview Jonathan Sharp – who‘s an English language tutor at Tübingen University. In the second episode I talk to Veronika Fröhlich (University of Education, Heidelberg) – maybe you met them at the conference in Konstanz. You can download the mp3, listen to it on the website or subscribe via Stitcher, iTunes or Android. Overview of episodes: https://dramapaedagogik.de/en/series/dlt-podcast/
