Angélique Arts

Angélique joined King’s College London in 2006. She holds a MA in Educational Science and Sociology from the Technische Universität Berlin and a certificate in “Methods and Didactics for Teaching Foreign Languages” from the Goethe Institute. She taught German as a foreign language in Berlin and Slovenia before moving to London. Angélique teaches assessed modules for UG and PG students at all levels, postgrad only classes and evening short courses. She also designed the “Reading German Texts” evening course to cater mainly for postgraduate students who need to improve their reading skills only. She was shortlisted for the King’s Excellence in Teaching award in 2018 and 2021 in the category of sustained excellence. Angélique is very enthusiastic about using games, role plays and puppets as teaching tools to bring some fun and creativity into the classroom. Since she is also a yoga teacher, Angélique may have suggestions for yoga exercises in the classroom to improve your German. Her MA dissertation looked at pedagogical concepts of Célestin Freinet and Paulo Freire to educate for democratic societies which is still fundamental to her teaching. Angélique’s recent research interests include meaningful and effective feedback, the use of AI for language learning and using games and puppets as teaching methods to bring not only some fun and creativity into the classroom but also to overcome speaking anxiety or writer's blocks.
