First Days: School and Program Visits in Rabat and Sale

3/14/2013

3.13.13 - We visited a public high school, a private middle school and an American Language Center. These girls are in an English as a Second Language class in the private middle school in Sale, Morocco. The class read a passage in their textbooks, gave us a special welcome speech and sang Katie Perry's "Fireworks". English is very popular with students now because they feel as though they can access more information and opportunities.

Dates and milk were served as a traditional welcome at the private school. Later we were served pastry and cookies with Moroccan sweetened mint tea. In fact in all but one location that day, we were served lovely refreshments as is the custom. Thank you Morocco!

Yummy Moroccan treats! I have found that in all the countries I have been to the students are very eager to learn and speak English; they value the opportunities that fluency in the language will open up for them. I bet they were quite good at it as well. So funny that they were singing Katy Perry! Music is the universal denominator!

The sweets look delicious! I found it suprising that Katy Perry was known in Morocco, but looks like she's a very famous and well-known person worldwide.
