This is who we are...
Anna
Gday! Kia ora! Buna ziua! Hello!   My name
is Anna Luisa Alecu and I am 22 years old. I was
born in Bucharest/Romania but I have also lived
in Germany, New Zealand and Australia. I study
Modern Foreign Languages and TEFL in
Giessen/Germany and I am in my 4th year and I
plan on doing a postgraduate degree somewhere in
Australia or the United States. I love
travelling as this enables me to get to know as
many cultures as possible, dancing and
reading.........And what I love most of all is
poetry.............And here are one or two of my
favourite poets

The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a
yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both
and be one traveller, long I stood And looked
down one as far as I could To where it bent in
the undergrowth   Then took the other, as just
as fair And having perhaps the better
claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that the passing there Had really
worn them about the same,   And both that morning
equally lay In leaves no step had trodden
black. Oh, I kept the first for another day Yet
knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I
should ever come back.   I shall be telling this
with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence Two
roads diverged in a wood and I I took the one
less travelled by, And that has made all the
difference. (Robert Frost)
Der Panther Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehen der
Stäbe So müd geworden, daß er nichts mehr
hält. Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe Und
hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt.   Der Weiche
Gang geschmeidig starker Schritte, Der sich im
allerkleinsten Kreise dreht, Ist wie ein Tanz von
Kraft um eine Mitte, in der betäubt ein großer
Wille steht   Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang
der Pupille Sich lautlos auf dann geht ein
Bild hinein, geht durch der Glieder angespannte
Stille und hört im Herzen auf zu sein. (Reiner M.
Rilke)

Julia Hi, Im 26 years old, married , German
and I have a little daughter who is one year old.
We have three dogs and two cats as well. I study
English, Didactics and Economy, and I hope to
graduate in 2004. Four semesters ago I changed
from Spanish, which I did for nine semesters, to
Didactics. In addition to that I have been
working in my dads company for 8 years. At
the moment Im not quite sure about my future
job, but I think I will go into business
(eventually human resource management) if that s
possible. I wont have the chance to get a
fulltime job because of my child and I would like
to have another one. In my free time I like
reading, being outside, horseback riding and
travelling, but unfortunately I dont have enough
spare time. I think people that do not like
animals are kind of intolerant and I dont get
along with them. Perhaps we will go abroad for a
couple of years even if it is very difficult to
move with kids and animals. If not, I really want
to have a house of my own one day... Miriam Hi!
My name is Miriam and Im one of the members of
Sixpack. Ive been studying here at the
University of Giessen for 9 semesters and my
studies combine English language and literature
studies, Spanish language and literature
studies, TEFL Teaching English as a foreign
language, and, for 3 semesters, also Teaching
German as a Foreign language, which I enjoy very
much. I am 24 years old and in my spare time I
like doing sports (cycling,), going out with
friends, going to the movies, travelling-
especially to England ? I dont know what it is
but this country attracts so much- like magic ?
I enjoyed working on this project our web site
for teachers-though it was an awful lot of work
sometimes, but I think what we got as a result
pays of for it in the end ? I hope you all enjoy
it and can use it somehow.

Mutsumi I am from Japan, and I am in the TFL MA
program (Japanese). Hopefully I can graduate in
December 2003. I have taught Japanese to
foreigners living in Japan for four years. I
taught in beginner and intermediate levels. I
really enjoyed teaching there, because I could
get to know many interesting people from
different places of the world through
teaching. My interests include listening to music
and cooking (only sometimes though).
Professionally, I am interested in curriculum ans
syllabus designs. Rachel I am from the United
States and am in the MATESOL program. I should
graduate i n May 2003. I taught business and
general English in Vienna, Austria for two years,
working with multinational children, teenaaers,
and adults. Ive been teaching private clients
through MIIS for about one and a half years as
well as teaching and coordinating larger programs
of Japanese and American college students. If I
have free time, I love to go horseback riding,
rollerblading, and to knit and quilt.
Professionally, Im fascinated by everything. At
the moment, Im really focussing on student
centred classrooms and student autonomy.

Susanne Im Susanne, or Susi for those who
want it short ? Ive been living in Giessen for
about 15 months now. Its quite nice. Im 24, Im
studying English, Spanish, German as a Foreign
Language and Didactics. I also studied Business
for 3 years, but changed it as I found out that
Im not the one that wants to work with numbers
and tables all the time, but with people. I hope,
I made the right decision. But I like it.
Actually Im a private teacher teaching English,
French and Maths. Its one of my hobbies. Other
things I like sports, music of almost all kind,
open-minded people, going out, meeting friends,
computer games, fast food (who doesnt?) ?,
taking photos of trees, sale, travelling, The
Simpsons, Austin Powers, beans on toast, puppies,
writing (poems) Ive already published some poems
of mine in anthologies and Im writing an English
grammar book, a book on Shakespeare and some
other things. Hope to get them all done in the
near future. I hate reading books, spiders,
being alone, Jazz and Country music!, traffic
jams, Tom Jones, narrow-mindedness, ignorance and
arrogance of any kind.   Job situation right now
I work for a psychiatrist and for the uni as an
assistant. My main function is taking care of the
computers, assessing CALL software, propaganda
and many other things. I also work in a factory
now and then.   My job plans for the future
going abroad. Though I dont know where to
exactly. I hope I can work at a university
somewhere. Perhaps at Sheffield Hallam. That
would be great! Sheffield, here I come
