Bear in mind that you would be competing for jobs against German and British teachers who might have done joint degrees in English and German and postgraduate teaching qualifications. It would probably be easier to find gap year teaching work in countries like China or Ghana, etc. Many of the gap year students who teach abroad are volunteers, so you need to think about whether you want to earn money or build on skills for your CV. Do you have links with any schools in Germany - have you been on a German exchange, for example? If so, you could try contacting the school and explaining that you would like some teaching experience in Germany and see if they would consider taking you on as a teaching assistant. Whatever you decide to do - viel gluck!
This method of teaching is called the Socratic method. It involves the use of open-ended questions to stimulate critical thinking and encourage active participation from students.
The purpose of teaching is to facilitate learning and help students acquire knowledge, skills, and values that will empower them to succeed in life. Teachers play a crucial role in fostering intellectual growth, critical thinking, and personal development in their students. Ultimately, teaching aims to inspire, educate, and empower individuals to reach their full potential.
The worst teaching method is one that is solely lecture-based with no interaction or engagement with students. This method does not cater to different learning styles and does not encourage critical thinking or active participation from students.
No, inquiry-based teaching does not advocate for eliminating content teaching entirely. Instead, it emphasizes using active questioning, critical thinking, and exploration to help students understand and apply the content more deeply. The focus is on fostering curiosity, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
Some disadvantages of the expository method of teaching include limited student engagement, lack of opportunities for critical thinking and problem-solving, and potential for passive learning. This method may also lead to information overload for students and hinder creativity and independent thinking.
