Almost finished packing!
I'm so excited to be in Costa Rica in 2 days!
I am most excited to be living with host families as I believe this will provide us with the most authentic experience of Costa Rican culture possible.
While I am there I plan to study the language and literacy development of the children I am living with, accompanying them to school and observing them at home. I'm curious to see how much English the children know, if any. I am a little nervous about the language barrier and how much my families and I will be able to understand one another.
Through my time in Costa Rica I hope to gain a better understanding of what English language learners experience here in the U.S. and apply this knowledge to my future teaching practices.
I have never been on a trip like this and am just looking forward to soaking up the Costa Rican culture!
