PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIENCE My Experience of Teaching Abroad A s f o r m y w o r k i t s e l f, I w a s n ’ t overloaded with it at all. My aim was to make the educational proсess more productive and understandable for students. So my classes were mostly entertaining and full of cultural details. The teachers never forced me do this or that task for students. They only could give me a topic and suggest creating something interesting for classes so and I did it. What else was truly amazing during this period is a chance to travel and I really used it fully. While being in Germany I visited: Czech, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, France, Spain and of course many cities in Germany. I took part in a Venice carnival, went on rides in Disneyland Paris, ate Belgian waffles, made shoots with celebrities in Madame Tussauds in Amsterdam and lived through a lot of amazing adventures with awesome people who I met during that time. Now I have good friends not only from abroad but also from different parts of Russia and we still are in touch. My trip to Germany gave me an unforgettable experience indeed. Firstly, it is an intensive training of the language skills that let me feel much more confident speaking not only German but English too. Such adventures give you an opportunity to look at the reality in a different way, perhaps even to change your attitude to life: you become more courageous, open- minded, tolerant, active and even positive. I took a lot from different cultures for myself. Even some obstacles which you can naturally face during rather a long period in a foreign country will never make you regret it.
