I have also participated in various continuing education courses at the German Cultural Institute, the Goethe-Institut and the Estonian Business School. I am a member of the Estonian Richard Wagner Society and the Tallinn Guides Association and participate in the work of the Baltic German Cultural Association. I summer, I also work as a tour guide, and I often stay in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2002, I have been teaching German at Multilingua to adults to groups and individual learners. Using interesting and motivational learning materials, we communicate a lot in the classes. The role of the teacher is to inspire learners to speak in German right from the start. On choosing the topics, I will be guided by the learners\u2019 needs and interests.<\/p>\n<p>German is the language of Gothe and Kafka, Mozart and Bach. Learning German and getting to know German culture and customs will expand our world-view and facilitate communication with more than 100 million Europeans with German as their mother tongue.<\/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=\"37\" 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; prepare training content and select methods based on intended learning outcomes and\u00a0previous\u00a0feedback;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"37\" 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; take learners\u2019 needs into account, adapt the stages of study or working methods when necessary; support the learners,\u00a0notice changes in the learners\u2019 development; respond to situations in the learning process in a supportive manner;\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"37\" 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\">analyse the learning process and assess learners\u2019 learning outcomes;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"-\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"37\" 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; update the learning content and methods by modernizing 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=\"37\" 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 able to\u00a0search for information online using a critical approach to evaluating sources.<\/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\u00a0participated\u00a0in an Erasmus+\u00a0learning\u00a0mobility programme in April 2024 in Konstanz, Germany, at the Humboldt-Institute language school.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I graduated from the University of Tartu with the degree in Germanic philology.
