Throughout my teaching practice, I have discovered that there is no one perfect learning theory that can be applied across the board. However, I feel most comfortable with, and have had the greatest success by combining some sociocultural learning theory, cognitive theories, with communicative and task-based teaching practices. Whether online or in the classroom, I strive to create a classroom that is inclusive and values student strengths and history. What my students bring to their peers in the classroom setting drives my instruction and informs adjustments made to fit the needs of my class. Authentic learning that is relatable and active, engaging the senses and insisting on discovery as part of the process, yields autonomous learners that will remember their own revelatory moments and be able to apply them for years to come.

Homeworkfortomorrow.com is a website I created in order for my students to access the lessons I covered in class through Canvas, but also to act as a lesson design portfolio.
These are lessons I put together on Articulate 360 for a Reading & Vocabulary Level 7 (lower advanced) ESL class and a Grammar & Composition Level 6 (High Intermediate) ESL class at California State University. These students are preparing to study on a university campus in an English speaking country. These lessons were conducted on Canvas LMS using Zoom over an 8-week period. |

This is a mini lesson on Reported Speech, intended as a demo of my lesson planning. The lesson is meant for intermediate level English speakers, either in a class or one-to-one. This was simply a Keynote Presentation done on my iPad. You can scroll through the lesson plan as a slideshow.
