Vision Boards and Voices: Rajani's Journey in Empowering ESL Students

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Adult Education World Podcast!

Join hosts Betina and Stacy as they welcome special guest Rajani Ramachandran, a dedicated ESL instructor with a rich cultural background and a passion for wellness and stress management.

Rajani shares her journey from New Delhi, India, to the U.S., her love for teaching, and her commitment to helping students advocate for themselves in English.

In this episode, you'll also experience a calming 4-7-8 breathing exercise led by Rajani-this is how she starts each class in case you didn’t know. 🙂

A highlight of the episode is the vision board lesson that Rajani and Betina teamed up to present to Level 4 ESL students last year.

This engaging activity encouraged students to reflect on their English language learning journey and envision their future goals. The lesson was a great success, helping students articulate their aspirations and build confidence in their language skills.

Stay tuned for inspiring stories, insightful discussions, and exciting announcements from the ACC Adult Education World!
