Unlike a few of my unfortunate friends, I've never actually been mugged on the subway in Russia, but I did end up in a hospital. And if it means getting to teach there, I will gladly let my wonderful nurses Svetlana and Olga stick me again!
To be willing to undergo such torment, of course I could only have one career goal in mind: a teacher. I'm a graduate student at the University of Texas, and because there are no courses in teaching appreciation for science-fiction, I will be doing the next best thing-- teaching English in Russia!
This blog is primarily a place for me to organize activities I plan to incorporate in my English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom for teenagers and young adults in Russia. English First, Vladivostok, here I come! However, because I will be teaching late intermediate to advanced learners, I hope this blog will prove useful to other EFL and ESL teachers, teachers-in-the-making like myself, and advanced students of English.
