Publisher's Synopsis
Anand is a little Mongolian boy who is attending an English-speaking school for the first time. What a scary experience! With time, practice, and support from his caring teachers, he gradually learns the language and things do get better. 'E El Gi Piddr' was inspired by the children Dawn had the privilege to work with as an English as an Additional Language teacher at the International School of Ulaanbaatar in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. She taught children at different levels of English language proficiency in Grades 1 to 4, and also tutored students in Grades 9 to 11. Her students were Mongolian, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, French Canadian, French, and German. What a joy to work with children from different linguistic backgrounds who were learning English as their second, third, or fourth language.
