Hello colleagues. I am a faculty member in Academic Literacy and Linguistics. I consider myself a foreign language educator. I generally teach the course before the first year writing course – ESL 96 – Intensive Reading and Writing and LIN 100- Language and Culture which is an intro level sociolinguistics course. I’m interested in integrating OER techniques and resources in the LIN 100 and LIN 100.6 courses by taking the OER workshop this summer.
I plan to spend some time with my family in Istanbul this summer. I am collaborating on a manuscript about autoethnography with a COIL professor whom I have team taught previously. As for reading books, I’m reading a historical fiction titled, Birds Without Wings, by Louis De Bernieres which is about the people in Southwestern Anatolia in the beginning of the 20th century.
