Teaching
Teaching Philosophy
Language plays a major role in life, so we all experience linguistics in some capacity. Whether or not you have ever taken a Linguistics course, we all have unique expertise when it comes to language. This really challenges the concept of expertise in our field and is what I appreciate most about Linguistics!
In my teaching and mentorship, I take a community-focused learner-centric approach. I emphasize learning goals to students, so they are able to decide what they want to take away from the course. My hope is to have students take away the knowledge and skills from the course which they can apply to their lives and can bring back to their communities.
