Kastner Kolleg is a registered nonprofit organization for language and culture in Dresden.
Our goal is to bring together people from around the world using language and culture in order to promote their understanding of one another. We view ourselves as an initiator of integration and hope to be a second home for our course participants from foreign countries.
Kästner Kolleg offers an alternative to the large, impersonal courses that can be found at other institutions. Our students prefer to learn foreign languages in an effective, practice-oriented and enjoyable manner. That means that our students learn in small groups with qualified native speakers as their teachers, we apply communicative teaching methods and use up-to-date teaching materials and modern media and classrooms.
Our students are the focus of our efforts. Before they start a course at Kästner Kolleg, they complete a placement test which we use to select a suitable group for them. A detailed consultation regarding our students’ goals and opportunities and regular progress checks are a matter of course.
