Courtney-Sophia Henry Visits School in Timișoara

On January 29, 2018, Fulbright ETA Courtney-Sophia Henry visited
Școala Gimnaziala nr. 12 in Timișoara, at the invitation of one of her American Studies Masters class students, who is also a teacher at the school. Ms. Henry spoke to a group of students, aged 9 to 14 years, as well as teachers who will soon begin their own travels as part of the Erasmus program, all of whom are studying English and wish to improve their listening/receptive skills.

Ms. Henry spoke about her experiences as a K-12 teacher in the United States (notably in Washington D.C., Camden, New Jersey, and Detroit, Michigan), as well as various aspects of American culture. Participants came prepared with their own questions for Ms. Henry, and were quite interested to learn more about her experiences adapting to Romanian culture. Food, music, education, movies, and more were discussed at length.
