I have been thinking about this for quite some time. Is there a possibility to merge English and German for my career? The next four years will be spent embarking on my teacher education and building up my teaching experience. While doing so, I hope to get my Masters in Education so as to be a more proficient and effective teacher. Meanwhile, I also want to continue learning German because I love the Language and I loce the process of acquiring the language. My final destination is Masters in German as a Foreign language. While the education in Germany is free, I still need money for daily expenses. It is difficult getting a sponsorship because Germany's focus is on teachnical and engineering research. Even if I can study here, the next quesion is what can I do with a Masters in German? Can I teach German to non-native speakers? I guess most people would prefer it if Native language speakers teach them.
I also want to do a degree in Linguistics. I guess it would be less restrictive and more broad-based as we study the technicalities of the various langauges rather than on acquiring the language itself. Linguistics, German and English are all components of communicative ability. Is there somewhere where I can strike a balance to allow me to do all three? Is there room in the world to accommodate someone like me to teacher english and german?
Please Lord, I pray for a sign or answer as to whether there is hope or having this dream come true?
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
