Hi Monica and Machelle! I absolutely agree. I realized this after teaching Social Studies and English in the States to mostly NES. Then, during my first job in EFL at a university in Bangkok, II felt like a new teacher (all-over again). Thankfully, I have had amazing opportunities in Asia to teach and study ELT.

Hi Maria, Thank you for your comment. It's been an invaluable experience. Which level ELLs do you teach?

@Jerry Ruth Hi Jerry, Thank you for your reply. Actually I'm in Japan seeking virtual exchanges in the States. Thanks, Philip

Nice to meet you, Jerry! As someone who also has interest in intercultural communication, I'd like to know if you would consider a virtual exchange with your students and university ELLs in Japan?

Hi Elena, I hope you're doing well. Global is quite a school!

Hi Vanessa, How are you? Thanks for checking in. We are okay here in Kobe. Unfortunately, the roll out is slow here. I'm still looking for an ELL position in Southern Nevada. Take care!

Hi Valerie, How are you? Thanks for checking in. Not yet. I'm still actively looking for something in ELL, preferably higher ed. Take care, Philip

Hi Vanessa! Thank you so much for your note. Teaching ELL and researching in Asia has been an incredible chapter, filled with an abundance of growth. I plan on visiting LV mid-March and would love to attend a meeting. If you like, I can present something. If all goes well, my family and I will relocate to Southern Nevada next summer. Have a great semester! Philip
