Andrea's Poetry

2008-04-07T08:47:00.000-07:00

Hi, my name is Andrea Dietrich. I'm a wife, mother, and grandma who loves to have fun! Also, I am the teacher of the TOEFL integrated class at Nomen Global who also loves teaching grammar. I have been teaching at Nomen Gobal now for about 9 years and I love it! I have met so many awesome students who have passed through our school on their way to universities or back to their countries with more knowledge of English! In my free time, I like to see movies and I do reviews of them in a magazine called Shadow Poetry Quill (SPQuill). In addition to teaching and watching movies, I have another interest that has become huge in my life. In 2000 I started writing poetry. I had no real reason for it, just felt like doing it! Since that time, I have grown a lot as a poet. I have learned many things, joined a club that recently bestowed on me the title of "poet of the year" and have also been a judge for various poetry contests. I have also entered many contests myself, some that gave cash prizes, and one time I won an award that gave me not only $100 but also a $300 publication deal. Some of my poetry can be viewed in ShadowPoetry's community of poets or under the contest winners for ShadowInk and the seasonal poetry contest at ShadowPoetry. The six chapbooks I have already published are on display in my classroom for anyone curious to see how a poetry chapbook is typically put together. Also, I do volunteer editing for ShadowPoetry's magazine, and in this spring's issue, I will have the honor of appearing as the featured poet. The picture to be used in the magazine is this one shown below with a link to ShadowPoetry for anyone interested in checking out the poetry bookstore and all the services that ShadowPoetry's website offers for poets or those who just like reading poetry. It's been a good year for me in poetry, and I hope it will be a good year for all my friends and students here at Nomen Global!

Sundance Film Festival

2008-01-18T08:22:00.000-08:00

http://www2.sundance.org/

If you like movies, especially independent film from all over the world, you have a great opportunity living here in Utah to attend one of the premiere film festivals in the entire world!

Most people think unless you have a lot of money or unless you get tickets months in advance that you can't attend the Sundance Film Festival.

The truth is that anyone can attend! Here are some details on how you can attend. Check out this...

WAIT-LIST TICKET SALES

January 17, 2008 - January 27, 2008

The Wait-List has become a Sundance tradition and each year hundreds of Festivalgoers see popular films without advance tickets. There's no need to go to the Main Box Office- just go directly to the theatre of the screening you wish to attend. Arrive two hours before the scheduled screening time to pick up your wait-list number (one per person). For each theatre's first screening of the day, wait-list numbers will be distributed one hour before the scheduled screening time. Once you have your number, you can go grab a coffee or a sandwich, but you must return no later than 30 minutes before the screening time. You'll then line up according to number, and tickets are sold in sequential order. The best part is that the tickets are only $10! Only cash is accepted, so be sure to stop by the ATM before coming to the theatres.

Today we had a big meeting with all the staff and teachers. We discussed a Japanese concept Kaizen which basically means change and good, or constant improvement.
After the meeting we went out to lunch at Chuck-o-Rama and had a great time. Here are some things people said afterwards:

"As an international student I could interact with the teachers who had me speak English the whole time" Victor

"Teacher's Meeting was awesome! 2008 is 'da year for learning English. And we pumped up in here!" Ika

"It was fun and a good idea to be together with the whole company. I just wish I was sitting by Ika because the party is wherever Ika is!" Erica

"That was a wonderful meeting, mingle staff with teachers is something we needed. I think everybody feels part of the same thing. Having lunch with the teachers was another opportunity to get to know each other and make friends." Amado

"It was a real feast of healthy American food with a huge variety of vegetables, fruits and meat! It was also an enjoyable time to sit with coworkers and chat, to have fun!" Elena

"The meeting was so good, now I realize that we have to be more open" David

"It was a good time to get to know each other and have so much fun. We are gathering together like family. My family is far away from here but I have a family here in Utah. I'm so stuffed . . ." Megume

"The staff and teachers have made relationships that create an environment of acceptance and a place for friendships. The students will notice the change and quickly want to join the team. It's great!" Aubrie

"I am excited to be a member of such a great staff and look forward to a great new year" Jason R.

I'll try to write my opinion about expirience at Nomen Global school.

I really enjoed and still enjoying having classes at Nomen Global language center because teachers here have a very jenuine personal approach to all foreign kid's, just like me:), to our grammar or other issues during studying prosess. its also fun, especcially on Mondays when we have fun activities which combine all classes and all levels together included teachers who observe us and indeed having a great show, watching our attempts in expressing ourselves,using imagination and socialize in Englsh, that helps us to interact, to improve our English, to know each other better, to meet new friends and to have fun, learning English at the same time! here such an amazing international atmoshere with so manydifferent fun accenrs!

right now i happened to work at Nomen Global doing some paper work and i'm very grateful for that! because staff here brings an amazing atmosphere eather you work, eather you socilaize, well, if you've got a minute, of coarse, because we are here hardworkers anxiously engaged in a very good fun business, helping all diligently seaking international students to learn or improve one of the most world-wide language ...

i really enjoy being here and grateful to work and continue to studdy at Nomen Global language center! may this school will continue to have great success in their school mission!

My first blog!

2007-12-10T07:54:00.000-08:00

I don't know much about blogging. I've never gone and read any blogs anywhere, but I think this is a really cool idea. I have some really awesome students at Nomen Global, where I have been teaching, primarily TOEFL classes, for around 9 years now. I've seen many changes through my years at Nomen Global, and everything just keeps getting better and better! So I hope this site gets lots of hits and that the school keeps growing bigger and better.

New Student from Brazil

2007-12-07T04:42:00.000-08:00

Hi, my name is Paula and I'm form from your favority country, Brazil! Monday 3th was my first day class here. I was wainting for this a 5 months. Also I studied in another school at USA, I loved when I heard about Nomen Global and how they teach. That was I decided to tranfer from another school and come to Nomen Global.Now I can say that's really good learn english here. First because you have more group discution, what make you practice more your english. Another reason is the confraternations that happen every monday. The activities are so good for you can meet more people and talk more in english! Even I don't like homeworks, the teachers make intresting to do them. They always help us before to go back home, and of course when you want to. My first day was really good, and I'm waiting for more happiness days at Nomen Global.

Making Sushi

2007-12-07T04:32:00.001-08:00

Last Wednesday we had a fun presentation in our class. Rob our teacher talked about Japan. He explained about the culture. He brought a kimono, and also he showed us Japanese cartoons and he taught us how to prepare SUSHI, so we ate a lot.
We had a great presentation. We have learned a lot of Japanese culture. We really enjoyed ourselves!!!

Rocio

Last Week we had a great activity at our Integrated Skills class, the coolest teacher gave us an example, he presented Japanese, we learned about the culture, traditions, how big and interesting country it is. but the best thing that we had in the presentation was the food, we learned how to cook sushi, it is so easy and they are so good. We also watched Japanese Cartoons. It was a really good activity, we learn and have fun at the same time.
