Bienvenidos,
My name is Oscar Franco. I am from Bogota, Colombia. I am married and have one little
daughter who was born last summer. I studied Philology and Languages and
Majored in English at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. I also received a
degree on Translation English- Spanish at the same university. I am currently
pursuing a Master’s Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other
Languages (TESOL).
I have been a language teacher for about 11 years. I have
taught English and Spanish to students of all ages. I worked in Minnesota as a
TA in an immersion school in the Robbinsdale District in 2002. I went back to
Colombia, I taught English for three more years and then I went to North
Carolina where I worked as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher for
three years
In my classroom I try to create an atmosphere of mutual trust
and joy for learning.
