Advert description
I am a fully trained, and highly qualified German instructor and examiner. I have not only a Master’s in Didactics of the German Language, but I’ve also completed a Secondary Teacher Diploma, including practical experience as a secondary-school teacher.
My lesson plan focuses on developing the learner's key skills such as speaking, writing, reading, and listening. I can also teach with different modern didactic teaching principles such as discovery learning or cooperative learning, and I am able to teach with different books or digital teaching packages "Menschen, Panorama, Weitblick, Das Leben, Hueber, etc." and LMS-Tools thanks to my formations in teaching through new technologies. Moreover, I can use Kahoot, Quizlet, Padlets and Moodle, a learning platform that gives learners access to a lot of different lesson materials and they can continue using it at home and for homework. In addition to the explanation in the lesson, I also use additional teaching materials like PDF files, test templates, text documents, articles and news, audio files, and homework.
I am also a German examiner. As an examiner, I create my tests according to scientific criteria, i.e. according to the official curriculum or according to the criteria of a Common European Reference Framework. In addition, I can review the quality, cogency, structure, and presentation of learners' responses; write comments throughout the marking process, return graded tasks along with feedback, and suggest improvements to existing rubrics.
Through my teaching career, I developed my skills in teaching and communicating with learners and the use of LMS-Tools. I used Kahoot and Quizlet to support the learner's acquisition of new vocabulary and grammatical rules and to make a good atmosphere in the classroom. I use also a weekly magazine or stories from Cornelsen to develop the reading skills of learners.
At the academic level, it is clear to me that as a teacher, I have to be constantly learning in order to continuously improve my teaching skills. It’s essential that I’m always searching for the optimal techniques, strategies, and materials that best facilitate the learners’ learning. At the same time, I wish to foster a stimulating and healthy atmosphere in the classroom to promote learning. I have experience teaching at different private schools.
