I love teaching and working with children of all ages. The primary focus of my language instruction would be grammar and pronunciation--which is extremely important, because together they build the foundations of any language learning. I will also use games, songs, cultural notes, and stories making fun of the words in the target language to color up my class sessions. And for those who are still young at heart--you are never too old to learn a new language. I have a Master's Degree in Foreign and Second Language Education(TESOL--Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from the Ohio State University, and a Bachelor's Degree in French Language and Literature from Capital University. I am fluent in English and Mandarin, and proficient in French. I have had eight years of experience teaching English to students from different linguistic backgrounds (Mandarin, Japanese, and Portugue

Being a current student myself, I can appreciate the hardships and struggles of education. I feel that you must always level with your students, no matter what the age. The students are the ones who must lead the class. However, we as educators have a duty to guide and to nourish this idea. We must be leaders who encourage a positive and productive learning environment, while also maintaining an enjoyable experience. I believe in a split between communicative and explicit teaching. Students are given input through examples and other meaningful activities. They then are encouraged to attempt their own output through group work, homework, or discussion. At this point, students are prepared to solidify their learning with charts, graphs, mnemonic devices, and/or questions/answer sessions. Finally, new material is segued into the review, restarting the learning cycle. This overlap
