I was finally match with an ESL learner at the library where I volunteer as a tutor under the Adult Literacy Services/Program. We’ve been having tutorial classes for one week now.
Her name is Maricel. She is from Colombia, a legal immigrant like me and most imporrantly she is trying to assimilate by learning the language and understanding the culture of the country where she is now living, the U.S.A.
I meet her after work every Tuesday and Wednesday from 4-6pm and on Saturdays from 1-4 pm at the library.
She is still on the beginner level and I am determined to help her reach her goal, to be on the intermediate level after 3 months.
She is very appreciative of the help I am giving her. I can also see her determination to learn as fast as she can. She said she wants to teach Spanish later on. I joked that I hope she will also give me a free Spanish class in the future 😊
I will share later on the methodologies, books and other resources I used to help her. I am still researching for better and effective strategies I can use, lessons and activities appropriate for her.
Thank you to those who read my blog/s.
I will do my best to post at least once a month and to keep you updated.
