Hello! My name's Yilmin. I'm a long-term language learner, but not language teacher. This class is going to be my first official TESOL class. I majored in English literature & linguistics in college and recently graduated from this school as an MA (Department of Linguistics & TESOL). My first language is Korean and my second is English. I've also learned some French and Japanese but I can't say that I'm fluent.
As a language teacher, you can surely call me a novice since I haven't had any professional experience. So, this is my start line of being a TESOL student as well as language teacher.
Have a good one!

Yilmin, I would bet that you are going to be a great teacher of TESOL, mainly because English isn't your first language. You and Yuni have an advantage there over me. I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions and ideas.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. I personally do not think I have an advantage over you. It's all up to the "training" to be a language teacher, as Cindy indicated in class. It's possible for me to explain better on some grammar issues; however, my English isn't based on the NATIVE intuition.
