Musik und Theater sind meine Leidenschaft. An der Ruhr Universität Bochum habe ich Pädagogik, Musik- und Theaterwissenschaften studiert und mit dem Magister Artium abgeschlossen Anschließend habe ich das Lehrerseminar für Musik in Essen für die Sekundarstufe 1 besucht. Viele Jahre habe ich in Duisburg und Düsseldorf an weiterführenden Schulen Musik unterrichtet. Aufgrund meines großen Interesse für Tiefenpsychologie und seelische Prozesse beim Musizieren habe ich zusätzlich Klinische Musiktherapie an der Universität Münster mit dem Master vollendet und schließe gerade das Disputationsprojekt "Im Zauberwald des Spiels" ab (https://www.uni- muenster.de/Musiktherapie/Forschung/musiktheraphie-schule.html). Ich lebe mit meinem Hund in Serbien an der ungarischen und kroatischen Grenze in einem kleinen Ort an der blauen Donau in schöner Natur und mit einem großen Garten.

Lektürekurs: Goethe - Faust 1

 

My name is Erblina and I am a German language teacher with a bachelor's degree in German language and communication and a master's degree in teaching German language. To me, communicating in a foreign language changes our perspective of thinking, improves memory, and improves our listening and analytical skills. I teach German C2, advanced English, and advanced Spanish to various groups of ages (children and adults) classes. During my experience of teaching these languages I have seen my students boost their self-confidence, expand the way they think, and compare traditions and values with other cultures. During several observations and evaluations for academic performance and social development, I have seen a lot of improvement and opportunities to study and work in Germany and other German-speaking countries. I teach elementary, high school, and college students. I have coached students to prepare for national competitive exams in foreign countries such as Germany, the USA, Mexico, and Spain.
