- About Me:
- I´m an EFL teacher educator and foreign language coordinator at a Mexican university. I have a BS in business administration, a Master's in Education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction: technology, and am currently pursuing a doctorate degree in curriculum and instruction leadership. My philosophy to teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) is to provide every student with a variety of learning opportunities so that each student is motivated enough to practice English to accomplish his or her own individual goals. Language acquisition that focuses on the integration of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills through a conceptualized learning environment relies on both in-class and out-of-class activities with the dual purpose of achieving curriculum and individual goals. By establishing a student-focused learning environment that is based on the interests and needs of the students, the intent is to create a more engaging and effective learning experience for everyone. Technology provides the affordances to create contextual, conceptual, problem-solving, and project-based learning environments that will better prepare the language learner to fulfill social and professional pursuits that extend beyond the classroom. My interests include network learning and assessment in TESOL.
