Teresa Almeida d'Eca in Sakha-Yakutia !!!

The most remarkable event after the BaW 2011 online course was the meeting with Teresa in Yakutsk. It happened on the 3-rd of March, in Yakutsk University, where she was instructing the local EFL teachers. I left my village early morning at 6 AM and got to Yakutsk at 10 AM. Our meeting with Teresa lasted less than 3 hours but those three hours gave a full representation of her human nature. She turned out to be a nice lady full of energy and strong will. She was diligently instructing the Newbies and seemed not to pay any attention to the contrasts between her and local cultures and the differencies of lives and people. We had a short but impressive talk on everything, I was afraid first I couldn`t utter a word in English but my tongue moved flexibly enough and I loosened up at the end. I am happy a lot to meet our BaW coordinator F2F and hope to meet our other moderators and participants later.
