Teaching Experience

Classroom practice and professional recommendations

Selected teaching examples demonstrate how I approach learner participation, language practice, and feedback across age groups and professional contexts.

Collaborative writing and peer feedback

Designed a sequence that progressed from grammar and vocabulary practice to original writing, peer encouragement, and guided editing. The approach made feedback part of learning rather than a final judgment.

Design approach: scaffolded practice · peer review · formative feedback

Grammar in authentic contexts

Connected phrasal verbs and informal English to literature, film discussion, and conversational examples, encouraging learners to interpret and use language in context.

Design approach: contextual practice · multimedia · discussion

Accessible elementary English instruction

Developed a story-based lesson focused on everyday verbs and simple present tense. Visual matching, role-play, drawing or speaking options, and an exit ticket provided several ways to participate and demonstrate understanding.

Design approach: learner choice · visual supports · formative assessment

Workplace English and communication

Designed professional language practice around technology-security scenarios, emphasizing precise vocabulary, pronunciation, qualified claims, and reasoned communication about risk and trust.

Design approach: authentic scenarios · professional communication · critical thinking
