IOC 2006 Online Learning supporting international collaborative literature project

Hi. My name is Leorah Addi and I teach English to the 9th and 10th graders here in Israel. I am a relatively new teacher and prior to moving to Israel, I worked for IBM in networking sales (pretty big career change huh?). Even though both professions seem very different, I think there are many similarities. Both professions need to sell a product and in this case it is selling the importance of the English language. Even though it is considered a requirement to pass an English exam to be accepted to university, it is still a second language to most of my students and sometimes considered not as important as some other subjects. So in my eyes it is still a sales job.
