Over the past several weeks my students have been working on a wide range of ESL topics including: education, professional ocupations, community/country geography, asking questions and working in both the past and present tense. Recently two other students from Conversa have joined me as voluteers. Jane works for the world bank and Kyle is a college student in Texas. Both Jane and Kyle joined my students and I on two recent field trips at a local store and an ice cream parlor where my students helped the English speakers "shop." We also went to an ice cream parlor where my students helped Jane, Kyle and myself select and order ice cream using english with us and translating into spanish for the staff. Afterwards Jane, Kyle, and I
praciticed our Spanish after my students told us what they wanted to eat in English. Fieldtrips are much more easily accomplished down here (much less paper work as well) where the numerous small shops offer rich opportunities to use and apply the language.Our students this week are Joslin and Stefan and their videos are below.
