GEEVA LYRICS: GOOD DAY (ESL STUDENT Book 3)

Teacher Talk

---

From the Scheramitova airport, with the self-proclaimed taxi drivers noisily vying for passengers, to the potholed highway, causing our bus to swerve precariously into on-coming traffic as we headed kilometers east, I was already taking mental notes that would eventually make it into my book. Other scenes from the novel were inspired by the first evening with my host family, all three generations there to greet me, the table laid with half a dozen salads, meat and potatoes, bottles of wine, vodka and Sovietskaya Shampanskaya.

After dinner we danced, sang songs and they showed me photographs of the family. I had only known them three hours, but I felt like we were already best friends. The next day, I was off to work.

However, many were not used to speaking and were intimidated, even in front of a class of only ten to twelve students. A small minority had different notions of honest test-taking, but as the American Home prided itself not only on teaching the language, but also on sharing the culture, we encouraged students to explore our foreign expectations and customs. We were able to do this in the classroom, but also through the English club and social events. With my relatively light work load, I had plenty of time to go to the theater, to night clubs, to the dacha and to birthday parties with my students and friends.

I also had an opportunity to improve my Russian during the three hours of private lessons provided by the school and at home with my host family.

I was having such a great time that I stayed on for a second year, as lead teacher. I organized the two-week teacher training at the beginning of the school year, planned meetings and excursions for the new teachers, expanded the school library and brought in additional classroom materials. But I also visited Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Odessa, as well as the many beautiful smaller towns around Vladimir.

It should probably not have come as a surprise that I fell in love, not only with Russia, but with teaching. Going abroad is one of the most rewarding teaching experiences you could have.

I went back to teaching. After a wonderful year at Intrax, an ESL school in San Francisco, I moved to France to be with my husband and have been teaching there for the past nine years. Once I started my own business, I was able to organize my schedule in such a way that I would have time for my other passion: The Golden Ring emerged.
