- Title
Teaching Foreign Languages at Primary School Age.
- Authors
Jaffke, Christoph
- Abstract
Christoph Jaffke, PhD, attended a Steiner Waldorf school and went on to study English and history at universities in Germany and Great Britain. Steiner's reasons for introducing foreign languages to all children at this unprecedented early age were certainly very different from the pragmatic reasons for teaching and learning foreign languages which have become increasingly important in society throughout the decades since then. After finishing the main-stream teacher-training he became an English teacher at one of the Waldorf schools in Stuttgart, where he worked for 33 years. Since 1975 he has also been involved in training Waldorf English teachers at the Waldorf Teacher Training in Stuttgart.
