I would appreciate it if someone could correct this. Thank you in advance.
Part 1:
I would like to talk about my profession. I work as a teacher. I teach German as a second language (GSL) at a public school in Germany. This profession is respected and also well-paid, but it requires a lot of commitment, patience, and expertise. One needs not only pedagogical training but also inner motivation, a kind of calling.
Every teacher has the task of imparting knowledge, supporting students, and accompanying them in their personal development. This includes lesson planning, performance assessment, and collaboration with parents and colleagues. Subject teachers also take on subject-specific responsibilities.
As a teacher for German as a second language, I support students with a migration background in acquiring the language and integrating into society. I help them express themselves linguistically, manage everyday school life, and find their way in a new environment. In doing so, I respond to different language levels and cultural backgrounds and often serve as an important point of contact.
Like any profession, teaching has its positive aspects and challenges. Advantages include good pay, relatively few weekly teaching hours, and the opportunity for regular professional development. Moreover, the job is very interesting because you work with young people every day and accompany their development. For example, it’s rewarding when a student suddenly speaks confidently in front of the class or when a class successfully completes a project together. As a German teacher as a second language, you also experience the joy when a child with a migration background is able to form their first sentences in German after a short time.
