In addition, we offer opportunities outside of the classroom in order to expose students to the English language. This includes the:

English Drama Workshop
The English Drama Workshop is open to students and teachers who are interested in theatre and would like to practise their English skills. The Drama Workshop culminates in an annual production at the “Theater im Op” (ThOP), a student theatre headed by the German department of the Jacob-Grimm-Haus. If you are interested in performing or helping out backstage while practising your English in a fun, friendly environment, please go to our Facebook page for more information: facebook
