These past few months working as a Literacy*AmeriCorps instructor for ENGLISH @ WORK have truly flown by. It has been such a wonderful experience to work alongside the passionate individuals on the staff at E@W. One of the real highlights however has been teaching Beginning and Intermediate ESL (English as a Second Language) classes at Maudie's Tex-Mex Restaurant here in Austin. I work with each class for about 3 hours a week teaching ESL and workplace literacy skills specific to their positions at Maudie's. It has been such a positive experience getting to know my students and seeing the progress they have made so far. For a holiday flyer, E@W took this picture outside the Maudie's home office. In the picture are a few of the students from the Intermediate class, myself, and Maile Broccoli-Hickey, the executive director and founder of E@W. From everyone at E@W and on behalf of Literacy*AmeriCorps- Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year!
