  • Abstract:
  • This study explores the significance of German language education in Delhi government schools, informed by a comprehensive analysis of educators' feedback. Through a survey of 300 teachers, the research examines various aspects of language instruction, including the effectiveness of teaching manuals, class structure, professional development opportunities, and exposure to German culture. Results reveal a substantial dissatisfaction with current teaching manuals, with over 54% of respondents finding them ineffective and inappropriate for students' proficiency levels. While most educators acknowledge the importance of collaborative manual selection and express a strong preference for supplementary resources, the actual engagement in exchange programs and immersive cultural experiences remains alarmingly low, with 94% of teachers reporting no visits abroad. Despite this, a significant majority (over 78%) believe that participation in such programs enhances their teaching skills. The findings highlight the critical need for improved access to professional development opportunities and cultural immersion experiences to elevate the quality of German language education in Delhi government schools. This research underscores the essential role of educators' perspectives in shaping language education policy and practices, ultimately aiming to foster a more effective and enriching learning environment for students.
