Teaching

I teach courses in applied linguistics, German language, and language teacher education. My primary teaching experience is in higher education and adult education in countries such as Austria (Webster Vienna Private University, University of Vienna, Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, Technical University of Vienna), the United States (University of Tennessee Knoxville, University of Wisconsin-Madison), Uruguay (Goethe Institut Uruguay), and Russia (State Pedagogical University of Volgograd).

You can learn more about my approach to teaching language in the below video.
