Thanks to my training in Applied Linguistics, my first experience as a teacher was as a sole instructor at the American English Institute (AEI), from Fall 2017-Spring 2018. You can see examples of course materials, activities, and a curriculum unit I designed under Sample Documents here. After a year as the instructor of my own class, I transitioned into the role of teaching assistant for courses in the Department of Linguistics. This brought to my mind several questions about the relationship between TA and faculty instructor, the expectations that instructors have of their TAs, and the relationship of discussion sections to lecture courses. These questions sparked the idea for my Teaching and Learning Project, which you can find out more about here. For examples of course-specific materials I developed as a TA, you can visit the Linguistics-Specific Items page here. In addition to these teaching roles, I was the Graduate Employee for College and Career Advising for the UO College of Arts and Sciences from Spring 2019-Fall 2019. Though this was an administrative support role rather than a teaching assignment, it gave me the opportunity to work on projects related to education policy, professional advising, and undergraduate success, in a way that has indelibly shaped my understanding of the structures and purpose of higher education.
