The teaching assistantship that I
undertook lasted for nine months I was working in
what's the equivalent a sixth form college. So I was working with
age groups from sixteen upwards and often that would include
interacting with the students
in English however, that didn't mean
that my German was in anyway hindered because it was an opportunity to
also have to explain things in German which is probably one of the most
difficult
tasks when it comes to using a modern foreign language.
In terms of the activities which I
took part in there was lots of things,
ranging from sorts of oral classes, to presentations about English culture
and informing about English culture in general and it also
I often had to participate in
lessons, and plan lessons for the school and it was a brilliant experience. In terms of
finance
I received the Aramis funding,
Aramis grant which you're entitled to as a teaching assistantship
as well as
the student and that really helped me out through the year.
As well as receiving a generous bursary from the
AAD the equivalent to
British Council in Germany and basically I set up for the year in it really
helped make my year,
and something to remember to be quite honest.
