Hallo!
Willkommen auf meiner Website!
My name is Carolin Jolitz. I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate in Applied Linguistics and Language Science at the Pennsylvania State University. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in German and Educational Science from the University of Kiel, Germany. During my Ph.D. program, I have taught German at various levels and also developed a course on Switzerland that included an embedded study abroad component.
If you'd like to learn more about my teaching experience, check out My Teaching Adventures. My passion for teaching is reflected in my research. I focus on beginner German learners and the impact of captioned and non-captioned video on their pronunciation learning. The main goals of my research are to bridge the gap between pronunciation research and teaching practice and to provide teachers with ideas of how to teach pronunciation in an engaging, interactive way using German videos.

In my spare time, I like to spend time surrounded by nature. Hiking, riding my bike, and camping in the woods are my favorite outdoor activities. I enjoy discovering new places to explore. To relax, I like to read a nice book on my balcony or sit by a campfire while munching on German Stockbrot. |
