**Teaching at the GiL Institute**

The GiL Institute (German Intercultural Language Institute) is a (native) German institute located in

Vyttila, Kochi. We teach young Indian people and adults (mainly) between the ages of 18 and 30 the

German language according to the criteria of the Common European Framework of Reference for

Languages. Furthermore we support them in realizing their dream of studying or studying in Germany to be able to work.

The students of the GiL Institute are linguistically trained through high-quality German language courses at levels A1 - B2 and receive comprehensive exam preparation for the upcoming language exam with Goethe, Telc or ÖSD.

Furthermore, students can take part in special integration courses and orientation seminars in order to be adequately prepared for life and work in Germany.

Of course, you can also add your own touch to your course within the curriculum and design it with your own ideas and projects.
