English Language Specialist Margaret Cholodecki-Myers will visit Poland to conduct a series of workshops for teachers of English at the young learners' level between April 17 and June 5, 2009.  From 2006-2008 Margaret worked in Poland as an English Language Fellow and travelled to Lodz, Warsaw, Nowy Sacz, Opole, Bialystok and Krakow.   As a result of her two-year fellowship, the U.S. embassy has further  developed its English Teaching program and opened seven Young Learners Resource Centers (YLRCs) for teachers of English.  At YLRCs Polish teachers can use and borrow American products like Big Books, die-cut machines, and many other materials created by American publishers that are unavailable on the Polish market. Please see her schedule for more details. 

On this trip to Poland, Margaret will conduct workshops at the YLRCs in Warsaw, Gdansk, Szczecin, Wroclaw, Krakow, Lodz, Lubartow, and Bialystok. Margaret's  workshops focus on the importance and use of the target language in the English Language classroom.   The workshops also explore ways of engaging the young learner through drama, story telling, and what she calls "moveable blackboards."    Margaret Cholodecki has a Masters in TESOL from Universidad InterAmericana, Puerto Rico, and a Bachelor's degree from the University  of Illinois at Chicago.   She is currently working on her second Masters at the University of Illinois specializing in preschool education.
