Planning ETA training in Ankara and Fethiye (Ovacik)





I left Maryland on August 28 and flew through Munich, where I met up with two other English Language Fellows (yes - ELFs!). We remained in very close contact for the next month as we planned a two week teacher training program for 55 English Teaching Assistants (ETAs) coming to Turkey. We were hopeful as tow other Senior ELFs waited for their visas back home. The first week we spent planning in Ankara at Tunali Oteli and going between there and Starbucks. The second week was Bayram, a significant holiday, and so we moved down to Fethiye, traveling with our ELO, his wife and two daughters, and two cars. At this point, some of us were getting the grumbly stomach, but it all passed soon enough, and nothing could take away from the incredible beauty of Fethiye.
