About the Project

Hello blogsphere! My name is Jessica Cimino and I am an ENL instructor at Syracuse University.

This blog was created as a collaborative writing project between myself and my students, who are all part of a course called ENL 207 at Syracuse University. ENL 207 is an advanced integrated skills course for non-native English speaking students. The course focuses on: "the principles of academic writing and reading, and further study of complex sentence patterns and vocabulary."

Our wonderful class is comprised of eighteen students from all over the world. Each student has a unique cultural background and has been attending Syracuse University from anywhere between one semester to two years.

On this collaborative blog, you will find a post from each student. All of my students worked very hard to complete an assignment in which they were told to create a blog post that compared some aspect of life in their home country to life in the United States. In some cases, they have even included pictures or videos!  We are all eager to share our cultural observations with you and sincerely hope you enjoy.
