Foreign Language Instructors Wanted: AKF Working Group Seeks Professionals for Integration Assistance to Non-Native Speakers

In the heart of Willich, Germany, the Arbeitskreis Fremde (AKF) is making a significant impact on the lives of migrants and refugees by offering voluntary language courses to help them integrate into society and the workforce.

With a team of 25 dedicated volunteer language trainers, AKF provides assistance for self-help and stands for tolerance, respect, and appreciation. The organisation is in need of more volunteers to continue its valuable work.

Role and Purpose

As a language trainer at AKF, your role would be to help improve the German language skills of the participants. This could involve conducting conversation groups, language courses, or one-on-one tutoring sessions. The purpose is to equip the learners with the necessary language skills to navigate everyday situations, such as visiting a doctor, kindergarten, or shopping.

Requirements

No specific educational background is required to become a language trainer at AKF. However, fluency in German, ideally native or near-native proficiency, is essential. Some experience in teaching or tutoring languages is preferred but not always mandatory. Patience, cultural sensitivity, and strong communication skills are also crucial. Regular availability to conduct sessions, usually a few hours per week, and the ability to adapt teaching methods to diverse learners are also important.

How to Apply

Interested individuals can contact AKF by email at [email protected] or call 02154 8138296. AKF's office in Willich is also a great place to inquire about volunteering opportunities directly. Searching for Arbeitskreis Fremde Willich online will provide their current contact details and any application forms.

Support and Expansion

The city of Willich supports AKF in compensating for the cancellation of state funds 'Komm-an'. The organisation also receives support for the expansion of its language program and digitization.

Diverse Learners

The attendees at AKF have a refugee background and come from various countries, including Ukraine, Middle Eastern countries like Syria or Afghanistan, and Africa. Groups are formed according to the participants' language skills, ranging from illiterates to academics.

Additional Opportunities

AKF is still looking for children's bicycles for its bike workshops in Willich and Anrath. Anyone who has a children's bicycle to give away can contact Bodo Watzka at 0160 7676405.

By volunteering at AKF, you can make a real difference in the lives of refugees and migrants, helping them to build a better future in Germany.
