Herr Brown Brings Germany Back To Classroom On the second of August, Mr. Bruce L. Brown attended a seminar conducted by the Goethe Institute, an organization which encourages the study of German language and culture. Herr Brown and twenty-three teachers from thirteen countries came together in Gottingen, a charming city in north central Germany, to practice the language and gather information about modern Germany. Amont the many activities of the group were exploring mountains and forests, interviewing town officials, visiting East Berlin, learning about night life in West Berlin, riding in an automobile on the perilous German freeway, the Autobahn, and talking politics with Germans in pubs. Probably the most rewarding part of the experience was the association with many fine people, said Herr Brown, Also rewarding and useful were the so called contact phases of the course during which the teachers were sent out to establish contacts with the people of the town. Herr Brown felt that the course was particularly beneficial because he was able to enhance his linguistic abilities, learn new methods of teaching German, and share the unique experience of his stay in Germany with his students.
