About Roberta Branco:

I have been teaching and developing ESL curriculums and materials for the past 12 years of my professional life. On the one hand, working as a Pedagogic and Academic Coordinator, I could enrich my communicative and leadership skills, ensuring that stakeholders' and staff members' interests were met and a trustworthy relationship was built. On the other hand, my experience as a teacher for children, teenagers, and adults gave me the privilege of knowing and assimilating different cultures. Truly valuing students' backgrounds is one of the keys to building a healthy and prosperous learning environment. Teaching in my birth country had the purpose of breaking the language barrier for any exceptional purpose people had in their own lives. However, teaching ESL in the United States is much greater than I initially imagined. It is not only about breaking a language barrier anymore. It is about teaching individuals to advocate for themselves, integrate and assimilate American culture and establish rapport with foreign communities. I went from a facilitator to a person playing a significant role in hundreds of lives. It is unique from the inclusive perspective when it brings new opportunities, especially for minorities and underprivileged people. English as a Second Language plays a fundamental role in building a national unit, integrating marginalized communities, and mostly sidelined children and adults, guaranteeing that no one is left behind due to their cultural background. Integrating English learners is an effective path to strengthen the United States’ democracy.
