Krefeld married pair listed in a VHS directory, global comprehension ensues
The Adult Education Center at Volkshochschule (VHS) Krefeld is offering two literacy courses for individuals with varying reading and writing skills. These courses, which have been running successfully for over a decade under the guidance of Angelika and Dieter Fehmer, are now free of charge for participants.
Angelika Fehmer, who works for Lebenshilfe, leads the course for those with very low reading and writing skills. The course is designed specifically for people with intellectual disabilities and learning difficulties, providing a supportive environment for participants to improve their literacy skills.
On the other hand, Dieter Fehmer, who has been teaching German as a second language for almost 40 years, leads the advanced course. This course focuses on studying literature like "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Diary of Anne Frank" in easy-to-read language, catering to those who have already acquired basic literacy skills.
Each course has a maximum of nine participants, with a wide age range from 20 to over 50 years. Many participants have been using the alphabetization offer for years, testifying to the effectiveness of the courses.
The courses take place once a week, with the first two units starting in the first week of September. The literacy courses at the VHS Krefeld are generally open to all people, but the learning level and pace should be roughly balanced among the participants.
It's worth noting that since the start of the summer semester, the organisation "Stiftung Lesen" has been covering the costs of reading courses at the VHS Krefeld for participants with reading and writing difficulties. Additionally, the patrons' association of the Krefeld Adult Education Center is also contributing to making these courses free of charge.
For those without mental disabilities whose native language is German, the Johanniter-Hilfsgemeinschaft Duisburg-Krefeld-Rhine offers literacy courses in Krefeld.
Participants can easily attend these courses as they usually come to the VHS Krefeld after work, and can use the city of Krefeld's transport service for this convenience.
With places still available in both courses, those interested can join at any time, even mid-semester. Whether you're just starting to learn or looking to further enhance your literacy skills, these courses offer a great opportunity to do so in a supportive and engaging environment.
