Maryanne |
Retired ESL teacher grades 6-12, currently teaching MA TESOL program, test writing |
In my spare time, I like to do African drumming and facilitate drum
circles. I'll be moving to
Germantown, Maryland soon and need to explore part-time teaching
opportunities there, on-line or face to face. |
Rod Lewis

I have been teaching ESL in Asia (Korea, Thailand, Vietnam) since 1986. | Am currently working in Seoul at an overseas study center of the
University of California, Riverside, |
Mark Algren
|
I teach in the Applied English Center at the University of Kansas, and have been here since 1993, but not for much longer. | Most of my professional life (1982ff) has been in Saudi Arabia, and the siren song of the sand beckons - and I'm returning but this time as director of the Intensive English Program at American University of Sharjah, UAE. |
Alton Cole Victoria, Canada |
I jumped at the opportunity to teach in Japan for a year — and
stayed for 12, teaching in a private junior / senior secondary school in
Kyoto. While there, I completed a master's degree in EFL through SIT. |
I have taken the last year off, and will be traveling this August to the United Arab Emirates to teach at a women's university. |
Mary Jane Danan Oregon |
I worked in ESL in and around NYC for 12 years before returning to Oregon to work at TIUA and raise a family | I would like to offer
online courses to students at our home institution in Japan. Another
goal is to work overseas again, preferably in Morocco (my husband's
native country) or the UAE. I would like my daughters to learn Arabic while they're still
young. Maybe a leave of absence is in my future... |

Connecticut and helped ESL classes at junior high and elementary
schools. I earned a
master's degree at Manhattanville College in New York. Now, I’ve been teaching English at college and
language school ( face to face classes) for 8 years |
I am not a teacher of online learning, but I have online learning experience as a student and had a wonderful time with other students in the United States although I was in Japan |
Staci Johnson
|
ESL Instructor of adult
immigrant students My most recent accomplishment was co-authoring an adult ESL basal series, Stand Out: Standards-Based English with my good friend and colleague Rob Jenkins |
My path to becoming an ESL teacher started when I live in Firenze, Italia for a year when I was in college. There was nothing I enjoyed more than meeting people on the train or in hostels and trying to communicate with them. From that moment on I knew I wanted to work with people from different cultures. (Pic: My husband Eric and I skiing in Mammoth.) |
Susan Jordan

I am Coordinator of ESL Programs, Director of Women's Studies, and
Director of the Women's Resource Center at Fisher College, a small,
deeply urban, private college located in the fabulous Back Bay area of
Boston. |
