Great Language Teachers
In this section you will know Language Teachers who have influenced enormously the field of Linguistics. They have taught many generations of Language teachers.
Dr. Wanda Griffith
Dr. Mary Lou Price
M. Roger Brooks
"Teaching for me is a personal, social, political, and deeply psychological interaction between people who have a common goal, learning new languages to express their own ideas and goals in ways which have profound meaning for both sides, teachers and learners."
1. I am originally from
the United States. I moved to Oaxaca in 1991 from Seattle, Washington.
2. My BA is in Sociology from Metropolitan State University (a division of
the University of Colorado).
I studied a Masters in Sociology at the University of Washington (Seattle,
Washington).
I have a COTE (Certification for Overseas Teachers of English) from Cambridge
University in
England (1996)
I completed a Masters in Applied Linguistics in the Area of English at UABJO
in 2000.
3. I have been a university professor since 1993. Previously, in the US, I
was a psychologist/social
worker, and a chef. My experience in both these professions has had great
influence on my
teaching.
4. I've lived in Oaxaca since 1991.
5. I have not published in the teaching field. However, I am contemplating
a speculative work in
Discourse Analysis with another researcher here in Oaxaca.
6. My teaching method is very eclectic, but fundamentally is based in the
Socratic method. I believe profoundly in collaborative teaching/learning and
see my classes as an ongoing dialogue created by both myself and my students.
This dialogue evolves and develops based on the needs of
learners.
7. I have taught at UABJO, Universidad Autonoma de Hidalgo, and am presently
at the URSE. In
addition, I was team leader for the training of examiners for the Cambridge
suite of oral
examinations in the 5 southern states of Mexico (British Counsel).
