The levels at CCL begin with Basic A,B,C then move on to Basic I - IV, Intermediate and Advanced. For four weeks I observed Level Basic C, and in that class was able to teach twice. Now we are finishing up Basic I with the same students and I have taught three times. I took extensive notes throughout each class, writing down every idea, exercise, activity and game, and kept a running-thoughts journal besides. I'm very glad I did, as I was asked to substitute for a two-hour Basic C class and had ample material to work with right in my notebook.
Resources here are simple and plentiful.
I came to Mexico to slow down, and the computer screen is one place where I can surely do it. The classroom atmosphere is fun and warmly personal. I'm the pronunciation expert and eager to explain anything. The classroom is one place in the noisy oblivious city where I feel welcomed and loved. The first time a young student bussed my cheek and kissed the air in greeting, a la moda, my heart danced.
