About Me

I am an instructor of German and English as a Second Language (ESL) at Indiana State University, where I work part-time. I teach on campus German elementary and intermediate German classes and all levels of ESL writing classes, as well as summer language and ESL writing classes. As an instructor of the lower level German classes, my goal is to introduce the German language to students through culture, and to show new language learners the joys and possibilities that come with learning a new language. On the intermediate and advanced level, the focus is on teaching language through culture, as well. At the higher levels the focus is also on working on each of the four skills, reading, speaking, writing and reading, more intensively. I teach German and ESL, because I grew up learning foreign languages, and find that knowing at least one foreign language should be everybody's life goal! I've walked (and still am) many miles in a language learners shoes, and it has been a fun walk. I want to share my experience and expertise with YOU! I truly believe that everyone can learn a foreign language.
