| Abstract | Ciampa talks about being a foreign English teacher in China. He asserts that learning a language is not just about sentence structure and vocabulary. It's about culture, understanding and history. It's about communicating between countries and learning to accept differences, while embracing the much greater similarities. That is the real reason of teaching in foreign countries. To help bring the worlds closer together and open up the idea of a language not just being a tool for communication, but communication itself. |
