The
German House (Das deutsche Haus)
About
The German House provides interested students the opportunity to deepen their
understanding of the German language and culture in ways not possible in a
traditional classroom setting. The house is meant as an English-free zone,
where students can reinforce language learning and share their experiences
and knowledge of German culture. This is good preparation for study abroad in
German-speaking countries and a means for students to retain their fluency
upon returning to Illinois
College. As a residence
hall, the house offers room for up to four students and the director, a
native German student from the University of Heidelberg.
The director oversees the house as resident staff, tutor, fellow
student, and coordinator of a program that includes a weekly Kaffeestunde
(coffee table), movie nights, discussions, lectures, group meals, excursions,
festivities and other cultural and social activities.
For more information about the German House, please contact our German House Director.
