The aledu educational institution is located in the heart of Duisburg, just a few steps away from the renowned Duisburg-Essen University (engineering sciences) and about 9 minutes walk from Duisburg Central Station. The excellent location of the school with a large car park and the wide choice of courses makes it an ideal place to learn German: students, academics and workers can choose between general German courses, exam courses, such as telc, DSH or TestDaF or opt for courses for managers, nurses, midwives, doctors that explicitly prepare you for your exams. We believe that learning a language is not only about acquiring vocabulary and grammatical knowledge, but that learning a language always means immersion in the respective culture. For this reason, we place great emphasis on teaching our language students not only the necessary language skills, but also the German culture. With this in mind, we encourage encounters with the local population and are therefore happy to provide information about language cafés, ( sports ) clubs, etc. and organise trips on request. Especially as a language school in a city like Duisburg with its high percentage of migrants, we feel obliged to support our language students in thinking and acting in a cosmopolitan, culturally open-minded and solidary way. The focus should not only be on the language deficits of the participants, but also on the different lifeworlds of people from different migration backgrounds, which should be perceived by all participants as equal and with the same appreciation. Our teachers and secretarial staff therefore see themselves not only as language mediators but also as "bridge builders" between people of different cultures.
