                                       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!
