I-F Journal

This Journal records how I learned Ukrainian during my Fulbright year in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. I was teaching English, Linguistics and Modern American Literature at Vasyl Stefanyk Pre-Carpathian University from September 2006 through June 2007.

Fourth year advanced writing class


Fourth year advanced writing class. The department has given me the best students. This is one of the top sub-groups of fourth-year students, a pleasure to teach. The majority of students who major in English are young women. In all of my four classes, there are three young men. The level of English for all of these students is quite high. They have had no difficulty understanding me and they have made an effort at reading and writing the rather challenging material I have prepared for them. I have seen a good deal of improvement in their ability to write and speak.
