I have been teaching German as a foreign language for about 13 years, in- person and online. I believe the classroom is a living community and that everyone, from the principal to the students, must contribute in order to maintain a positive atmosphere. All students are individuals, and everyone learns in their own unique way. I use multiple methods of teaching (linguistic, visual, auditory) to reach students, so that no one is left behind.
I learn from students as much as they learn from me. I believe we never stop learning, and I want my students to know we can learn from each other. I will try to Encourage Students to make them feel important. One way to encourage students and teach them responsibility is to get them involved in the classroom. I make participating fun by giving each student a job to do and so on…
I believe that students want their teachers to be dedicated and approachable, and they can tell when a teacher doesn't possess these qualities. If students know you're working hard and want to support them as they learn, they're more likely to succeed. For this reason, I keep an open-door policy at all times and strive to build rapport with each student.
