ABOUT THE TEACHER

As an enthusiastic ESL (English as a second language) teacher and support teacher with nearly 3 years of experience both in lower and upper secondary school, I have spent a number of years developing teaching skills, aware that a teacher should be a facilitator, he has to contribute to the elaboration of culture and to encourage students to partecipate actively as leading actors.Now I'm working in a public school for adults (CPIA).It is my pleasure to submit the following Learning Unit for your review.Thank you in advance for your consideration.
