Information about the vacancy:
We
urgently require someone to teach two German
native speakers, aged 17-18, the second year
of the literature component of the International
Baccalaureate (IB) German Language A (Language and
Literature) course. It would involve 5x40 minutes’ contact
teaching in Fettes per fortnight plus 5x20 minutes’
preparation and marking time, working out at 5 hours per
fortnight, although this is flexible (we could arrange for
two hours per week, for example). The syllabus can be found
here
for your information. (Paper 2, individual oral commentary
and written task). One student is studying the subject at
higher level and the other is studying at standard level.
They are studying Der Vorleser, Schöne neue Welt
(in German translation), Der Besuch der alten Dame, Die
Verwandlung, Der Hof im Spiegel and Die Leiden des jungen
Werther.
Fettes
pays around £30 an hour so it would be around 2.5 x £30 per
week. The pupils have already covered all except one of the
texts they will need for the exam in May 2018. It would be a
case of teaching Die Leiden des jungen Werther (or another
similar text of the teacher’s choice) to the higher-level
student in the autumn term and then focusing on exam
preparation: that is, writing essays on the above titles and
also commenting orally on passages from them, as well as
guiding the higher level student through preparing his
written task (coursework). The two pupils are very motivated
and work hard. Lessons would have to be conducted in German,
preferably by a literature specialist.
If
you think you can help us out, please put us in touch and we
can arrange for you to come in and meet the students and
discuss the course in more detail.
