Why travelling teachers?
We are two Italian teachers of English and we are going to post some photos or exepriences we're having around the world but we think the term "travel" is strictly related to the term "education". The educational process is a sort of travel itself.
So the blog is about travelling, in a wider sense. It mainly covers topics about British or American culture but it also deals with any matter concerning adolescence. Students are invited to leave their comments (have a look at them while reading the posts!) to improve their communiation skills.
We want to share our experiences with our students, or everybody else, because we think that getting to know other customs and cultures it's very important to broaden our minds!
"Travel has
a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel's immediate
rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with
experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the
right and only way."
Ralph Crawshaw
“Why do you
go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from
with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
Terry Pratchett We have to say thank you to Zanichelli for giving us this opportunity!
