German for children and juveniles ,

Kindergartens and schools offer special language support programmes in German, and sometimes in the relevant mother tongue, for children and juveniles who are growing up with a mother tongue other than German.
Language tests are carried out in all Federal Länder as early as in kindergarten or before school enrolment in order to establish children's individual support needs. Various support programmes are then offered depending on the Federal Land.
Children and juveniles who come to Germany during their school careers need particular support. There are support or language-learning classes for them in which they are taught by specially-qualified teachers before subsequently transferring to mainstream classes. You can find out from the school authorities about the programmes that are available to your child.
Tipp
Für den Bildungserfolg Ihres Kindes ist es wichtig, dass es gut Deutsch spricht. Nutzen Sie deshalb die Sprachförderangebote! In einigen Bundesländern ist die Teilnahme an Deutschförderangeboten für diejenigen Kinder verpflichtend, bei denen Förderbedarf erkannt wurde.
Juveniles who are no longer obliged to attend school and young adults up to the age of 27 may attend an integration course for young people to learn German. You can find out more about this course via the link below.
