I’ve got class!

Well, literally, not figuratively.  I have been hired as the new ESL teacher at the International School! I am teaching a total of 4 classes/week or 3 hours a week of teaching and many more of preparation.

I have been toying with the notion of going back to school for years, but desperately needed more experience.  The opportunity came up so quickly, but with the most perfect timing and circumstances.   I am working with 8 children from six countries.  Translation:  I couldn’t ask for a better learning experience.

Technically, it is not ESL, though, as English is a third language for some of the children.  Their ability to process and retain the information at this age is just so amazing.  I have said it before and will say it again: if you ever have the chance for your baby/preschool child to have a bilingual experience, I highly recommend it.
