Not having studied abroad or earned a master's in English, I still enjoy writing and blogging in the language even though I'm far from being perfect.

As always, I enjoyed exchanging ideas with teachers from different regions about lesson planning.

However, as soon as I learned about there would be a five-day TBL workshop this week by the very same lecturer, I immediately decided to sign up for the THIRD time and enjoyed every class of it.

Sponsered by the U.S. State Department for EFL teachers to create and implement short-term intensive English language immersion programs, I was so honored to get accepted into this 10-day exchange program with participants all around the world by observing and participating in some of the most inspirational camps. Being immersed in this all English environment, I got to experience using the language to take in so much content, interact with camp directors and volunteers, and express my thoughts and feelings.
