Thanks for reading my blog! I am a novice teacher of English to speakers of other languages, and have created this blog to catalog my experiences, share resources I find, and generally document all the things I learn through this experience!
A bit about me: I have many years of teaching youth in sports and various subject matters. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Linguistics and was first exposed to the TESOL world by a class I took at the University of Colorado. In September of 2009 I took a certificate course for Trinity TESOL in Barcelona, Spain. Soon, I will be teaching English to learners in Longmont, CO through a non-profit, Intercambio de Comunidades.
I think self-reflection is crucial in the teaching process, and hope to keep this blog updated as I learn, and also as a place to store information I would think helpful to students or teachers of English. I look forward to you sharing this journey with me!
About Me
- Jessie
- I obtained my BA in Linguistics from University of Colorado in 2008. Last October I spent one month in Barcelona earning a TESOL certificate, which I applied to a volunteer opportunity back in Colorado. I have been working in Computational Linguistics for the past few months, but I am now moving over seas for work. The opinions on this blog are my personal views and observations, and are not made to represent my employer or the US government. My background includes working in youth recreation teaching a variety of content and physical education classes, working in offices at the University and in Real Estate, and working as a linguistics annotator. I have studied Spanish for years and would really like to become fluent.
