TEACHING English as a Second Language
" During and after teaching ESL 015 in the summer, I found myself being more flexible and adaptable than I was before. Teaching this course as a part-time lecturer taught me more lessons than the lessons I actually taught to the students. I wonder how my personal identity as a teacher influenced my teaching and the student's identity as a learner. "

TEACHING IN KOREA
"I was encouraged to try any kinds of teaching techniques I found appropriate to my own class. I discovered that my students were improving and learning more quickly when I planned an engaging class. It filled me with great excitement and I have never felt more alive before. I changed, from Early Childhood Education to English Education and from public education to private education, and I found hope that I still have passion living inside me as a teacher. "
