All of my classes are entirely online. In my Reading and Speaking class, we are studying Ernest Hemmingway's brief but beautiful novel, The Old Man and the Sea. In my Writing classes, we are learning how to compose professional emails, memos, letters, and reports. In my Special Topics classes, we are familiarizing ourselves with job-search and professional networking sites like LinkedIn and Indeed. And in my Conversation Classes, we are comparing and contrasting the American work culture with the vocational norms of my student's home countries. Show less
