Interview
with Balz Müller
What fascinates you most about your subjects?
The curricula for German leave a lot of scope for teachers in Switzerland. It gives me great pleasure to fill this with current texts that are exciting for young people. The interest of young people changes over time, which is why teachers are faced with the challenge of constantly finding new texts and methods that fascinate and inspire further thinking.
How do you spend your spare time?
In order to balance my professional activity, I do a good hour of sport every day if possible. Be it general fitness, jogging, mountain biking, swimming or in winter cross-country skiing and skiing. I also enjoy reading contemporary literature or following political events, especially in Switzerland.
What do you expect from your students?
Pupils must be open-minded and have a certain curiosity. I consider it one of my tasks as a teacher to really motivate and inspire you for my subjects. Mutual fair play and respect are fundamental attitudes that make positive interaction and thus successful learning possible.
What do you want your students to take along?
Error-free, target-oriented writing is a basic skill that even Gymnasium students do not always take for granted. Universities or future employers expect young people to be able to communicate adequately, correctly and in a structured manner, both orally and in writing, in their mother tongue. I would like to impart this essential ability to all my students.
