Creating an environment that engages students in classroom discussions, generates curiosity, evokes questions, and helps to develop independent ideas describes my ideal of teaching. Encouraging students to cultivate their own thoughts and unique observations is essential to the learning process. In my language classes, students should expect to gain a solid fundament of foreign language skills, including the use of grammatical structures, as well as idioms and expressions based on intercultural understanding
