I have been in the TEFL (teaching English as a Foreign Language) courses for the last two days. I was not sure how informative these courses would be, but it turns out that they are fantastic! I feel like I am back in school again....of course that is a good thing, Frank and Ralph :-) The coursework is very hands on, and each teacher is given an incredible manual with hundreds of games, songs, and drama ideas to help teach the English language, as well as specific grammar points. They will actually be bringing some real, live Italian children for us to practice on, tomorrow.....
Off I go. Time to get ready for dinner.

About Me
- To Italy I go.....
- Hi! I'm heading off to Italy to teach English to Italian children, through an organization called A.C.L.E. In July, Matt will come to Italy and we will travel around the country to see what Venice, Tuscany, Positano, and Rome have to offer us :-) I'll be gone for about a month and a half and have decided to keep a journal, of sorts, so that friends and family can track my progress through Italy!
