THIS PAST SUMMER I had the exciting opportunity to visit and teach English in Russia--Siberia, to be more specific. It wasn't always pleasant, but it was a truly amazing experience and worth all the effort.

The International Summer Language School is located in the village of Borovoe--about thirty miles outside of Novosibirsk, the capital of Siberia and Russia's third largest city. I found the school on the Internet and, after four months and numerous extensive e-mails back and forth with Natasha Bodrova, the school's director, I was on my way. The school conducts five two-week sessions from June to August. Most students and teachers come for one session; I stayed for three sessions, or six weeks.
