Winkelmann, Allison
Hello, my name is Allison.
Coming from Canada many years ago to live in Germany has meant getting to know a new language and culture.
This has inspired me and sparked my own interest in teaching English, a function that I am carrying out in two different
courses. Always trying to recognise students' individual needs, I get pleasure and satisfaction in helping learners expand their
knowledge of my language and improve their speaking skills.
In a relaxed atmosphere we talk about personal experiences, share ideas and opinions. Different reading and listening materials over a wide range of topics of general interest including current news and travel are used to encourage conversation, improve vocabulary and gain confidence in speaking. While communication is our main focus, we also review certain points of grammar when needed. Listening to English songs and playing word games add a fun and creative touch to our lessons.
