How Has Spanish Played a Role in Your Personal and Professional Life?

I have taught English to Spanish speakers, among other students for many years, in adult education (no credit) and university level, and growing up in California, Spanish has been a part of my life and wider culture, even though I do not have strong Spanish language skills.

How Long Have You Been Teaching?

I've taught English and trained teachers for more than 25 years and am now teaching a methods class that covers, ESOL and Modern languages and Heritage language contexts, so your site is relevant to my students and my curriculum.
