Photo: Tod Ellsworth Xochitl Salinas (center of photo) describes the experience of chatting. Getting in Touch on the EFL Plaza Xochitl Salinas from Mexico As an educational innovation, CIS has an Internet project for students. It's a chat place where students of English as a foreign language, English speakers who teach, and just Internet navigators can get in touch. It's called the EFL Plaza. We had yesterday our first experience about this. We met several people, like: Ice Baby who was a little crazy and liked to laugh a lot. He was from Canada. Susan who was a navigator passing by, from Los Angeles. Rick who was a PowWow Tribal Guide, from San Diego. He said he would like to visit Merida some day because he is interested in the ruins. Truna, who was a friend of Tod's (our Program Coordinator) in Australia, another English teacher. Chac and students from the other CIS practicing their English in the EFL Plaza. I think it was fun! I've never spoken with so many people in English at the same time before. It was also interesting because you can learn about the way of thinking of other people from around the world.
