 She aided for my willingness to help were the greatest rewards I could ask for. The books and programs in the curriculum that I used at the English school in Brazil were the Engage, Study, Activate Strategy. One of the difficulties I ran into while teaching these students in Brazil was that I was teaching them from a British English curriculum. British English can be different, at times, than American English. For example, there are many words and phrases used in British English that are not used in American English. Being able to explain this to my students was my first experience with culturally adaptive teaching. In conclusion, I believe that my experience teaching ESL students in Brazil was an enriching experience both culturally and educationally, and I knew I wanted to do it again in the future. Being a TEFL certification to become a certified ESL teacher was the next logical step. I believe that language allows people to share so much more than just business acumen. Language can unite people that are separated geographically and culturally. I will be able to use the knowledge and tools I learned in Brazil to continue to teach students who are interested in learning English as a second language in the future.
