My particular interests lie in Second Language Acquisition (SLA), learner motivation, and teaching methodologies. English language teaching is a constantly growing field, always evolving and changing. My goal is to bring together a variety of methodologies to expose students to authentic language while helping them enjoy learning English and increase their motivation. Helping students foster their learner identity and agency is a crucial step to being part of a multicultural global community. Through authentic and meaningful interaction and communication, I hope to help students prepare themselves for bigger and brighter futures.
