Teaching Philosophy
I seek to share my enthusiasm for language with my students, a fact that I feel is evident in every class that I teach. First and foremost, I firmly believe that students should play a large role in shaping their learning experience by examining their own goals and taking responsibility for reaching them. To facilitate this process, as a teacher, I foster a respectful, energetic, and engaging environment, with clear expectations and fair evaluation. Second, my goal is to provide students with a truly hands-on experience. Students learn to craft their own questions about language, form hypotheses, and use the relevant tools to answer their questions. I try to inspire my students to step back and critically examine and truly appreciate language as a complex, unique, and amazing system.
