Hey! I'm Alex, turned 21 a few weeks ago and I study the subjects English as my major and pedagogy as my minor in order to become a teacher for Gym/Ge.
I grew up in a multilingual household in which we spoke German and Russian, while I simultaneously learnt English at school and through the use of social media.
What I like to do the most in my free time is to meet up with my two best friends and either go to the club, have dinner at McDonalds or talk about the Gossip we've heard about throughout the whole week. 🥂

I'm very interested in different culture but now that I'm thinking about it, I rarely had much time or motivation to learn more about it.. Oop. That's why I'm looking forward to this course. I'll finally have the opportunity to find out more about it. 🤓

A good teacher can be described with the following three words: Openness, Empathy and Competence. He or she should always have an open ear and understanding for his or her students if they have problems (in school or in their personal life). This way, students have the opportunity to get through their school career with much less stress. In addition, teachers should be open to new learning methods. Particularly in the age of digitalization, it is important to be able to embrace new things and, in the best case scenario, incorporate them into lessons. Of course, a certain level of competence in the subject he or she is teaching is also necessary in order to impart correct knowledge to the students. 🧠

I would say 50% of my everyday life has at least some kind of English in it. Of course, I have English lectures or seminars almost daily at university, but I also watch shows in English from time to time or scroll through social media posts that are using the English language. 📱

My goal is to walk out of the course at the end of this semester and be able to say that I learned something new and interesting to me that I can later make use of in my lessons as an (English) teacher! 🏫
