About
I’m interested in how second language is acquired and taught, especially in different approaches used in teaching heritage and non-heritage students. It is a unique challenge to teach in a linguistically diverse environment and I believe the improvement of teaching techniques will benefit students in the long run and inspire their interest in languages. I’m also interested in language’s functions in migration recorded in film, narrative and poetry.
