I majored in Soviet Area Studies and am obtaining my teaching certification in grades K - 6 in Connecticut. However, I am still very interested in using my background in Russian and am considering ESK , so that I can work with Soviet immigrants. Can I ask where you teach? Do you have a degree in ESL? Do you know what kind of training is required to teach adults? I'm assuming that it varies depending on the state in which one plans to teach. I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks. Regards, Marcy P.S. I'm sorry that I cannot help you with your inquiry. However, if I learn of any relevant information, I will certainly pass it on to you.
