National Junior College is the only junior college in Singapore that offers the Language Elective Programme in German (German LEP). Our LEP students do not just achieve a high level of proficiency in the German language but are also exposed to German history, philosophy, literature and economics. A considerable amount of time in class is spent reflecting on German experiences using the Singaporean context. Through interactive classroom discussions and presentations, LEP students get to appreciate their own culture and at the same time relate meaningfully to the German culture. In the process, they become more aware of their own cultural strengths to be able to identify and protect them while incorporating desirable elements from Germany.

Our exciting and unconventional LEP lessons are conducted in a dedicated German Room. Word games, study cards, performances, simulated public speaking, drama, movie reviews are some of the many interesting lessons that break the traditional norm of didactic teaching. Special teaching methods like video-taping are adopted for later review of student's performance. Together with peers' criticism, our LEP students get very accurate feedback about their strengths and weaknesses.

Beyond classroom lessons, our LEP students are given exclusive opportunities to be exposed to German culture and language. Some of these exciting experiential learning activities include
