immersion

Or in other words...

The Immersion Programme involves certain school subjects being taught in English rather than German, with the purpose of immersing the students in the language. Such subjects include art, biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, geography, history, mathematics, music, physics and sport.

I have been involved in this programme for over 15 years in my role as an English Immersion Coach. The main purpose of my job is to support the immersion teachers with all matters relating to the English language. This allows them to concentrate on teaching their subject as effectively as possible, rather than being distracted by language issues.

Coming from a science background as opposed to a language one, the science teachers can benefit greatly from my support as I speak their language!
