Hanno, Su; Bellman, Johannes – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2018

Recent trends in German educational studies towards holistic understanding of education demonstrate that…

Howards, Alyssa – Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, 2014
"Die Zauberflöte" is simultaneously one of Mozart's most accessible and most complex operas. Yet while this duality makes it a potentially valuable cultural artifact for the language classroom, students' unfamiliarity with both its operatic genre and Enlightenment context can pose a challenge to teachers. This article functions…
