Since late September I have been in Europe experiencing all
I can. I returned this year to teach English at an Austrian secondary school. I
currently work 13 hours a week, and these hours are split between a HTL and a
HAK. The HTL is directed more toward Interior and Structural Design. The HAK
puts a focus on Business and Management. I always have Fridays free, and
sometimes Thursday also. I have covered many subjects with the
students so far, including the recent elections, holidays, and schools in the
US.
I have enjoyed my first two months here. The town is small
and quaint, and has the amenities that I need. Teaching here has allowed me to
get an idea of whether I would like to continue my education to be able to
teach.
This is a great opportunity for German students, and also
students who've studied education and English.
Liebe Grüsse aus Imst (near Innsbruck), Österreich.
