Lesson plans: Tips from a Language Assistant
Thursday, 11 November 2010It’s hard to know where to start when looking for materials to prepare your classes as a language assistant. For me, my baptism of fire into the world of primary school teaching began when I turned up to one class on my first day and was given a box of English resources, with a Latin swish of the hand as if to say ‘Go forth and teach.’ Needless to say, I was terrified, I had to be creative in my methods given that I had no time to look through or prepare said resources.Published in Language Assistants -

Being a Language Assistant in Germany
Sunday, 21 November 2010Claire Morley, based in Dresden on her Year Abroad, gives us an account of how her Language Assistantship is working out...
From what I’ve seen and heard, being an English Language Assistant is possibly one of the best things you can do on your year abroad and you don’t have to be the next budding teacher of the year to take on the challenge. Put simply, this job involves you being in a school, or maybe two, for twelve hours a week and getting a ridiculous amount of money for it, which can be spent on exploring your country (or border countries) on weekends or on days off.Published in Germany -
