Ammon News - President of the Yarmouk University, Islam Massad, on Sunday met with Mariam Aldameiry, deputy director of Germany's Goethe Institute in Amman.

The meeting discussed ways to enhance cooperation between the two sides, especially in the field of teaching the German language.

Massad lauded ties between Jordan and Germany, and the scientific and academic cooperation between the Yarmouk University with various German educational and research institutions.

He stressed the university's keenness to enhance cooperation with the Goethe Institute, and to further cooperate in the field of teaching German language in light of the increasing demand from students and members of society to learn this language.

Massad expressed the university's readiness to cooperate with the institute in holding level tests in the German language, and the possibility of holding German language courses offered by the institute through the university's language center in a manner that suits the needs of society, whether via in-class, remote or integrated education, pointing to the possibility of establishing a branch of the institute at the university in the future.

Aldameiry, in turn, commended the Yarmouk University's distinguished scientific reputation, and stressed the institute's keenness to frame cooperation with the university within a cooperation agreement between the two parties, especially with the strong demand by the people of the northern governorates to learn the German language, noting that the institute has made great progress in preparing a distinguished program for training German language teachers.
