The German Language Team was officially established in 1955 and at that time consisted of five people (two lecturers had been teaching German since the early 1950s). Currently the team consists of 12 German language teachers: 1 person works as a college professor and 11 people work as a senior lecturer.
The German Language Team has been headed by: Maria Lebiedzińska (1955-1957), Barbara Batycka (1957-1971), Renata Kwaterska (1971-1981), Krystyna Wojtasik (1981-1987), Elżbieta Michalik (1987-1991), Anna Bińkowska (1991-1996), Edmund Całus (1996-2005), Elżbieta Radomska ( 2005-2008), Iwona Frankiewicz (2008-2012). Since 2012 the team has been led by Beata Brocka.
The team teaches German at all levels, at Bachelor's, Master's and Master's degree courses, for full-time and part-time students. Paid supplementary courses in German are also organised. Acert certificate examinations and language examinations for students leaving for studies under the Erasmus+ programme are conducted. In addition to diligent performance of their teaching duties, members of the team are involved in extra-didactic activities. They take part in organizing cyclical language events, such as: the Language Tournament, Language Days, Lower Silesian Festival of Science, All-Polish German Language Olympiad for Students of Universities of Technology (organized by the Silesian University of Technology).
The German Language Team realizes also numerous projects: international projects 'Tandem' and 'Share your culture, share your language'; project 'Deutsch ist ein Plus' and participates in the project 'Innovative school - innovative teacher'.
For many years the team members have been cooperating with the University of Magdeburg (Germany) and taking active part in international workshops.
All team members take care of the high level of their work, participating in numerous conferences, courses and trainings to improve their professional qualifications.
The team has prepared a rich collection of teaching materials in general, specialist and scientific-technical German for lectures and individual student work. The developed materials are available in the Virtual Learning Environment. We also prepare numerous interesting articles about German-speaking countries, which are posted in the Polyglot Passage.
The wide-ranging activities of the team enable students not only to learn German, but also to establish international contacts, test their skills in numerous language competitions and gain knowledge about culture, science and work.
