Finally: A visit of my Indonesian colleagues – a delegation of University of Malang in Bad Reichenhall

Since February 2020 I am an Adjunct Professor at Universitas Negeri Malang in Indonesia. As a start of this new task, a delegation of my university planned a visit already in March 2020 in Bad Reichenhall. But Covid-19 has made it necessary to cancel the visit in the first week of March.

Two and a half years later, the time had come and we were able to welcome the delegation from Indonesia to BIMS e.V..

We were pleased to welcome the following high-level delegation:

  • Prof. Utami Widiati, PhD, Dean of Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang
  • Dr. Dewi Kartika Ardiyani, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang
  • Dr. Primardiana Hermilia Wijayati, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang
  • Dr. Moch Syahri, Vice Dean for Finance, Infrastructure, and Human Resources, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang
  • Dr. Edy Hidayat, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang

Together with Martin Ebner and Martin Sch?n we had an intensive exchange and it is really wonderful to meet people „for real“ after such a long time online.

And of course, we took the opportunity to show our colleagues some wonders of the Berchtesgadener Alpen (Prof. Utami Widiati is missing because she arrived a day later).

We are already looking forward to all further collaborations!

[publication] Teaching German as a Foreign Language with Open Educational Resources (OER) #OER #research

Our article about „Teaching German as a Foreign Language with Open Educational Resources (OER)“ got published in the International Journal of Emerging Technologies: Abstract: The focus of this research is to find OER to be used in learning German as a foreign language levels A1 to B1 of the The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standards and to implement in teaching at University of Malang (Indonesia). An overview of the OER will be given, which was categorized language learning level, themes, among others level and themes. From the implementation in university classes with about 19-21 years old, our interviews with five lecturers and their answers in an online questionnaire showed that the OER material in learning did provide many benefits for lecturers and students, including the variety of materials, the forms, and the economic aspect. However, the existing OER still have some downsides, like their suitability to the needs of lecturers and students, in terms of their themes, the technical requirements and levels of difficulty.
