Personal Statement

Personal Statement

For my love of teaching French I am indebted to many extraordinary teachers who imbued me with a sense of appreciation for the language and literature of the Francophone world. Their energy fuels my own teaching today. My objective is to create a comfortable and challenging environment in which my students and I can work as a team toward a common goal, whether this be language acquisition, cultural exploration, or literary analysis. In my courses, I utilize a participative approach and focus on students’ varying skills, needs, learning styles, and interests, introducing authentic elements of French and Francophone culture in order to build a sense of community as we study together.
