As a teacher, the CALI in-service training steered my teaching methodology to the right path. Thanks to positive criticism from our authorities and colleagues, the working atmosphere, I am always discovering new paths towards improvement and professional development. Moreover, being at CALI is like going back to school again, since I am still learning a lot about the American Culture and the sociolinguistic aspect of the English language.

Access meant a lot because I started when I was very young and even my studies at the university helped me earn money teaching English door-to-door. Even my first trip abroad was because I knew English.

"I wasn't interested in school or expressing mydelf much until I began to learn English. English has changed my way of thinking. I feel more confident to speak in English."
