Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), Education Technology (EdTech)

My passion is teaching. I am an energetic educator with a strong ability to motivate students across all proficiency levels, utilizing effective communication to help students reach their full potential. My research interest lies in how students use technology (namely smartphones) to improve their interaction and confidence inside the classroom.

I would like to publish more research in Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) and how this technology creates increased opportunities for ubiquitous communication in a globalized society with an emphasis on student-centered learning and autonomy. In addition, I would like to explore more about how A.I. (e.g. ChatGPT) can contribute ethically and effectively to learners’ second language acquisition (SLA).
