| Introduction | The Go Teacher! program has been created to train teachers from Ecuador in Academic English. The Ecuadorian Government has been concerned about the English language proficiency of teachers and students. Three thousand teachers applied to get a scholarship to come to Kansas State University for training. Ninety English Teachers were accepted. They are dreaming to improve the education in Ecuador. The main objective of this program is to strengthen English language skills to assure quality of English Language learning to students in public and private schools. |

Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. - Albert Einstein (1879-1955) "Who dares to teach must never cease to learn." -- John Cotton Dana "Good teachers are those who know how little they know. Bad teachers are those who think they know more than they don't know." -- R. Verdi
