HELLO From RELO

RELO is the Regional English Language Office (https://www.facebook.com/relokyiv/?pnref=story) which is part of US embassy (therefore a part of the State Department). I'm not sure how many embassies they are in worldwide but there is a very active RELO office in Kyiv. From what I can see they encourage the teaching and use of English as a second language in host countries. As with anything, the success of the organization depends upon leadership and staff and, boy, does RELO Ukraine have a winner with Kevin McCaughey. He is one of these people who was born to teach. I was lucky to see him at a TESOL Ukraine conference in Lviv in March. As with me, Kevin loves music and music history. I saw him teach how to use music in the classroom. He had his trusty ukulele present and got all of us singing. He also made a very good case for Ukraine and Eastern Europe as a catalyst of American popular music. Watch the video and enjoy.
