About
I teach university freshman composition and research writing as well as cross-cultural communication. My research interests are peer feedback, lexical frequency and corpora studies and writer agency dynamics between teacher and student. I am fortunate to have learned over my career a lot of what I know about teaching English and writing from the very students that say they don't know how to write. What a journey it's been to come from a small town in southern Idaho and get the chance to live in Russia (as an exchange student then language teacher), Thailand, Japan (originally planned to stay for three years), England and Finland and teach in those places as well.Sessions
