I am a TEFL teacher and have a house in Essaouira on the Atlantic coast of Morocco and I agree with Loubna that the American Academy is the last place you should use as a project model.

hello,
When I encountered Morocco in your site I was eager to know what is it about.As a matter of fact;I found the idea of the project great.However; I have some reservations about your destination.I mean: the American academy doesn’t really present how students in Morocco are learning English as an SL.In fact this is really done but in an American way:an American syllabus,sometimes even teachers are native speakers and not all the Moroccans benifit from the same way of learning that language.I invite you to have a look on how the majority of students in Morocco are learning English.”public schools”.By paying attention to this our learners and teachers will benifit and the project will be worked out on real bases.you’ll see how esl benifits from the local culture to be learnt……………..

Hello Daniel and Joe,
First, I wish you very good luck with your project.
Then I would like to present my humble opinion concerning the reasons why more and more Moroccans are keen on learning English .The first reason is the fact that everyone is now aware that it’s the language of science, technology and therefore power . Second provident people feel now that this language is no longer a choice but a must for any progress at the local or international level in the short term or long one.

Greetings, and thank you for your comments! Of course our experience in Casablanca was fantastic and I think the positive side of the city will be reflected in the documentary - like I said, I can’t wait for the film to be posted.

Regarding the Spanish speaking population in Tangiers, it would have been wonderful to visit the north of Morocco but we are running on a tight programme and do not have time to meet with everybody - as incredible as that would be. I do intend to visit northern Morocco in 2009 and I will no doubt write an article about my travels. - keep checking www.danielemmerson.com

Thanks again for your comments - we had a brilliant time in Morocco and look forward to visiting Romania on Sunday.

Best Wishes,

Daniel.

I agree with you Hanane,
My name is jalal from Tangiers from the north (14 km) from Spain i think you forget to mension that there are 6 million moroccan in the north whom speaks spanish as native spaniard do, and I am sad to see that you talked just about the folklorik side of casablanca not the modern and positive side casablanca is the therd biggest city in Africa and the most industrial and the biggest in north the Maghreb region.
any way you are welkom to Morocco like your second country any time you want.
Kind Regards
