【実務経験有の場合】実務経験の内容

I have over 20 years teaching experience in ESL at the university level in Japan, and formal graduate education in teaching ESL.

【実務経験有の場合】実務経験に関連する授業内容

I have taught both Japanese and non-Japanese speakers ESL at the tertiary level in a post- secondary institution. For example, I have taught many students from European and Asian countries, such as, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Croatia, Taiwan, China, and Korea to name a few. I have found that Japanese and foreign students complement each others learning styles in the classroom, thru cross-cultural exchanges and discussion.
Students are exposed to a variety of pedagogical approaches to learning, both traditional and technology based, in order to achieve the expected learning outcome.
