Career Goals
Since my freshman year as an undergraduate student in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), I have been actively involved in language teaching, development of instructional materials, and research. These diverse experiences allowed me to observe the development of a language learning curriculum for different sides and helped me to acquire different skills.
Taking my previous jobs into consideration, my main career goal has been, so far, to be a professor and researcher in Learning, Design, and Technology or a similar field. I believe that my knowledge of teaching methodologies and creativity for material development can lead to future contributions to literacy learning assisted by technology and the field in general.
