Hello!
My name is Sarah Moreau and I am a sophomore at Florida Southern College. I am studying Music Education, and in one of my education classes, I am asked to interview an esol teacher and then write a report on what I have learned and what the responses were. If any esol teacher could e-mail me with answers to the following questions, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you choose to help me, could you please include your name and the grade level you teach.
Thank you very much.
Sarah
