\u201cI am so excited for the interview today,\u201d says Amanda Chaloupka with a smile as I enter her classroom. She was sitting on a chair and looking at her computer. We briefly exchange polite greetings and she asks, \u201cAre you ready for the interview?\u201d which prompted me to let her know that it was going to be a conversation more than an interview. Chaloupka then stands up from her chair and moves to the round table with two chairs, with her silver Macbook and green water bottle. After sitting at the table I noticed she was wearing big rings on her right-hand fingers which I have seen her wear since my junior year when she used to be my English teacher.<\/p>\n

Amanda Chalopuka is an 11th-grade ESL teacher at BINcA (Boston International Newcomers Academy). She introduced herself with love and care, showing how proud she is to be a teacher at an international school.<\/p>\n

Being a teacher is a profession that allows you to share your love, care, and knowledge with others. \u201cI have been teaching for almost twelve years in BPS (Boston Public Schools), before that I was working for a magazine.\u201d For such an amazing teacher it was a shock when she told me she \u201cdidn\u2019t know I wanted to be a teacher until later in life.\u201d This surprised me because for someone who didn\u2019t want to be a teacher, she does her profession so well.<\/p>\n

Chaloupka was born in a small town in Wisconsin, which she describes as \u201cvery white, very much the same, most of the people had regular jobs, but there was no diversity, no interest in learning about the outside world.\u201d Her family took a vacation when she was 11 years old in Boston and she loved this city. \u201cI remember telling my parents I wanted to live here,\u201d she said. She fell in love with Boston because of the diversity, theaters, museums, and beauty of the city. After finishing school she went to college in Boston, and she really wanted to learn something new, so she studied English and German in college. \u201cI always loved languages,\u201d she said. As she wanted to become an English professor, she went to graduate school, and she learned that being a professor is not really about teaching, it\u2019s about reading and writing, and \u201cI didn\u2019t feel passionate about it,\u201d she said. She then worked in publishing for many years but \u201cit didn\u2019t give me very much meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, she decided to return to teaching at the college level, and she taught students who didn\u2019t have good enough English to start a college class yet, so they are taking classes for zero credit but still had to pay for it. \u201cIt felt really really unfair,\u201d she said, and that\u2019s what made her teach high school students to prepare them, so they don\u2019t have to take the classes for zero credit. At the same time, she volunteered to teach elderly immigrants from Russia English and she felt love for them. \u201cThey became my grandparents, they loved me, supported me,\u201d she added while looking at me. She thinks immigrants are strong and brave which made her teach immigrant students.<\/p>\n

A teacher at international schools faces some advantages and disadvantages. Chaloupka first shared some of her advantages in teaching immigrant students, noting that she \u201cget[s] to learn languages from my students, which I love.\u201d Also, she learns about different cultures, their foods, and the world and its people. She also shared that she likes to teach immigrant students because it\u2019s a chance to see the first base and growth of a person in a new country and it’s an opportunity to talk and share the same place with a diverse group of students. \u201cIt\u2019s good to talk with Christian students from South America and also with Muslim students from Bangladesh,\u201d she added looking right at me.<\/p>\n

She had also shared some of the challenges of working with immigrant students: \u201cthey are many,\u201d she added, letting out a tiny laugh. One of the main challenges is all the requirements of the state but she thinks they aren\u2019t always fair, such as MCAS. Also, immigrant students have to help their families so they struggle to do jobs and that affects them academically. Another challenge is immigrants have different types of curricula in their countries and they have all the different levels in one room \u201cbut it\u2019s a good challenge, I think,\u201d she said in a serious mood.<\/p>\n

Right before the closing part of the conversation, we talked about some opportunities and challenges for students and her concerns about that. She said it\u2019s complicated to say clearly because\u00a0 \u201cwe have the opportunity to and the responsibility to teach the immigrant students what they need.\u201d And a part of the problem is that \u201cteacher programs don\u2019t spend a lot of time on immigrant students,\u201d she added. For example, teachers\u2019 programs don\u2019t spend enough time on how to teach immigrant students or how to plan lessons for them, and for that, a lot of teachers need to figure out how to teach their students but \u201cthat depends on the school and teachers, they all are different,\u201d she added in a strong voice.<\/p>\n

As a concern she shared, every student should have to learn any language, \u201cI think American students should learn what it\u2019s like for immigrant students to come to a completely different language and country,\u201d she added. She also talked about how the system of the United States needs to see that English language learners are an asset and they are something that makes things better than we think. \u201cWe have to figure out another way to teach English,\u201d Chaloupka added with a big smile and joyful eyes. She wants to change the mindset in schools so that schools feel lucky to have immigrant students.<\/p>\n

At the very end of the wonderful interview with her, as an answer to the question why do you enjoy teaching, she replied, \u201cI love it because every day surprises me, every day something new, and I love that.\u201d She enjoys talking to young people, hearing their stories, their ideas, and learning from them. I loved how she shared her beliefs about immigrant students with strong confidence, noting that \u201cI think immigrant students come with advantages that American born students do not.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is important for teachers to make sure that their students know how amazing they are being bilingual and bicultural. \u201cI definitely want to be part of this with my students,\u201d she said and that was the end of this conversation. I learned so many things from her since I was her student in the 11th grade and definitely this conversation will forever be a memorable part of my life. I will always remember how an American can love her students so much and how she is a role model for an immigrant teacher in the works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
