German Camp: Big goals with German in Thailand

The first Thai exam centre of the ÖSD in Bangkok focuses on interactive learning and the promotion of creativity and critical thinking in German. German Camp offers a holistic education with theoretical and practical approaches.

Extensive offer for German

The broad spectrum of courses and programmes at German Camp is tailored to the different needs and interests of the students and ranges from academic programmes to creative workshops. Flexible course times are available to accommodate the different lifestyles of participants. In addition, German Camp offers special discounts for group enrolments and early bookings.

The language school is located near the city centre of Bangkok and is easily accessible. The modern building offers a variety of classrooms equipped with the latest technology.

Familiar learning environment and sense of community

Many of the teachers have international experience and have proven themselves in various education systems. They are not only experts in their field, but also passionate mentors who are committed to the well-being of their students. They are committed to providing their protégés with the best possible support far beyond the classroom. Pupils and teachers are united by a sense of community, like in an extended family.

‘One remarkable aspect of our institution is its commitment to society. We actively promote projects in which students get socially involved and take on responsibility. This strengthens the sense of community and enriches learning in a special way,’ reports Uthaiwan Phattawatin, who is responsible for the ÖSD examination centre. ‘We are proud to create an environment in which students not only acquire knowledge, but also develop a sense of responsibility and individual creativity.’

Students can showcase their talents at regular cultural events, festivals and competitions. This not only promotes cohesion, but also self-confidence and teamwork.

Learn German innovatively

German Camp uses innovative teaching methods such as project-based learning, group work and interactive workshops. Modern teaching materials and digital media enrich the learning process. Online resources, video material and interactive software help students to better understand and apply what they have learnt.

A dynamic learning environment should motivate them to actively participate in lessons and develop their skills: Learning should be fun.

Examinations generally emphasise fair and comprehensive assessment. Various formats, including written tests, oral examinations and project-based assessments, allow students to demonstrate their knowledge in a variety of ways.

Why become an ÖSD examination centre

There were many reasons for Ms Phattawatin and German Camp to become a licensed examination centre and thus an official partner of the Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch (ÖSD). For example:

• Quality assurance and recognition: Licensing as an ÖSD exam centre enables us to offer examinations in accordance with international standards. This ensures that examinations are objective and reliable and that the results are recognised all over the world.
• Expansion of the programme: The partnership with the ÖSD enables the range of courses to be expanded and additional educational services to be offered. Students have extensive opportunities to obtain internationally recognised language certificates for German and thus improve their chances on the job market and at university.
• Promoting language competence: The introduction of ÖSD examinations promotes the linguistic and cultural competence of students and supports them in specifically training and demonstrating their German language skills.

Utilising the ÖSD network

In its role as an ÖSD exam centre, German Camp aims to become even more attractive for pupils and students who are interested in globally recognised German exams. The close cooperation with the ÖSD ensures the high quality of the exams and the assessment criteria, which creates trust.

They also want to benefit from the ÖSD’s network and resources, including ongoing training and support. This will enable the team to continue their training and stay up to date with the latest examination standards. ‘The students receive valuable certificates that officially confirm their language skills and can open up new professional and academic opportunities for them,’ Ms Phattawatin is convinced.

Goals and visions at German Camp

In the future, German Camp plans to further expand its programme in order to offer additional language levels and special exams that meet the needs of the students. Moreover, the number of exams is to be increased to give more candidates the opportunity to have their language skills certified.

The aim is also to strengthen students’ language skills through targeted support programmes and workshops and to offer them comprehensive opportunities to prepare for exams in German.

With all these measures, the institution aims to establish itself as the leading centre for German examinations in the region and throughout Thailand and to gain international recognition for the quality of its educational and examination services. At German Camp, students not only acquire excellent language skills, but also find the best possible support to achieve their language and career goals.

There are also plans to establish further German Camp branches in other locations.

Further programs and cooperations

Close partnerships with schools and universities enable exchange programs and create cultural experiences for the students. In addition to regular lessons, there are counseling sessions and workshops on career orientation and development. Career advisors help students to plan suitable career paths.

Uthaiwan Phattawatin, the head of the language school, continues: ‘We have cooperation agreements with apprenticeships and employers in various sectors in Germany, including hospitals. We are a member of the BVMW (Bundesverband mittelständische Wirtschaft Unternehmerverband Deutschlands e.V.) and help Thai professionals prepare for the German language.’

Health and parental involvement

In addition to all educationally orientated goals, the wellbeing of its students is important to the institution. It therefore offers a comprehensive physical and mental health programme. Parents are actively involved in the educational process at German Camp through regular information events and workshops. In this way, we work together to support the students.

A special place where learning and personal development are encouraged in a creative way. As the Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch (ÖSD), we wish our new examination centre German Camp continued success in its many tasks.

The following exams for German can currently be taken at German Camp:

• A1
• A2
