I worked as a Russian language teacher in an Estonian school and as an Estonian-language teacher in a Russian school. At the same time, I went to various language courses (English, German, and French). From 1975 to 2000, I published language teaching programs on Estonian Television (Travel English, English for Everybody, French &#8211; my love, Hej, Sverige! etc.). I also enhanced my knowledge in EBU foreign language teaching methodology workshops.<\/p>\n<p>I taught Estonian to adult on the basis of both Russian and English language at Tea Language School in 2000-2008. I received the necessary new knowledge at the Levon Institite Language Immersion Methodology Course at the University of Vaasa in 2002-2004. I have been teaching Estonian at the Multilingua Language Center since 2008. In recent years, I have supervised Tallinn language clubs \u201cS\u00e4hvikud&#8221; and \u201cRohelised&#8221; and have improved my knowledge at adult teaching methodology seminars.<\/p>\n<p>In language teaching, I find it important to awaken students&#8217; interest in the language and culture they learn. The teacher&#8217;s activity should not only be aimed at teaching individual words and grammar rules but how to link new discovered words and phrases to plain sentences and use them in spoken language. In my opinion, language learning is an interesting and fun activity. Let&#8217;s take this as learning a musical instrument because mastering it gives us a lot of fun, interesting encounters, and new challenges.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As an adult educator, I:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"46\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">identify\u00a0the needs and expectations of the study group,\u00a0compile a training plans and plan learning activities based on\u00a0Multilingua\u2019s\u00a0curricula;\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"46\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">introduce the curriculum and training\u00a0objectives\u00a0to learners and create a physical, mental, and social environment conducive to language learning;\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"46\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">continuously gather learners\u2019 feedback on the learning process, analyse the learning process, and assess learner\u2019s learning outcomes;\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"46\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">analyse and evaluate my own performance in the learning process, recognise my strengths and development needs; engage in continuous professional development, and update the learning content and teaching methods by\u00a0revising and\u00a0modernising them when necessary;\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"46\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;-&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"5\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">am familiar with the possibilities of digital learning and can use\u00a0appropriate methods\u00a0for delivering digital learning in adult education; am able to create, use, and share web-based learning materials.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I develop my professional skills consistently by\u00a0participating\u00a0in\u00a0Multilingua\u2019s\u00a0in-house training courses.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I obtained the teacher&#8217;s profession in the Pedagogical Institute at the Tallinn Pedagogical Institute in the field of Russian language and literature.
