My overall goal is to create a learning environment that is:

Authentic and contextually based, building on the students’ own knowledge, interests, and cultural schemata;

Cognitively engaging and intrinsically interesting, where students can learn through speaking, listening, reading and writing;
Cooperative, where students learn from each other; and
Innovative, through the integration of technology into the curriculum
In my teaching, I attempt to:
Accommodate the needs of individual students to help them feel capable, confident, and independent;
Keep myself informed about current educational trends and practices.
Encourage risk-taking as part of the learning process;
Stress the importance of students interacting with other native speakers and supporting intra-classroom participation;
Help students become autonomous, self-motivated, learners; and
Increase students’ self-efficacy through self-assessment surveys and criteria-referenced formative evaluation.
