Our guest teachers will be learning about academic English and studying the American educational system and culture. Three hours daily are spent in class. But language and culture arise from human experience, so we have lots of field trips. Saturday night, Lee and Judith Robertson, hosted a hayride for the crew. Lee (below left) is a expert at conducting hayrides. "Yes," he told me, "but this is the first time I did one as a cultural exchange."
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
