Unique and interesting points about the class:
Languages are increasingly important in many professions, it becomes even more important for students today to have the knowledge and skills necessary in more that one language. I think students realize that to succeed in life, they need to acquire tools they can learn now.
What are your main goals and objectives as a teacher:
My main goals are to teach students to learn and on ways they can use the knowledge they gain, to their advantage. I also want to show students how they can use the Russian language outside the school setting. Its really important that they know what to say in a given situation and how to respond appropriately, just like any language or culture.
