Hi! I am Kelsey Kuzniewski and this is my blog for my TESOL Practicum at Illinois State University. I hope to be working with the middle school level here in Bloomington-Normal. I am a Spanish Education major with a Middle School Endorsement and my minor is TESOL. My areas of academic interest/research are education in the foreign languages field, curriculum implementation, content-based instruction in foreign languages or ESL, and issues of gender in the classroom. I also would like to get more into the sociolinguistics area, as well when I have the time. In my ever so limited spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, watching all kinds of movies, reading, writing my novel, and listening to music.
With this practicum, I am hoping to gain some insight into the second language education field from the ESL perspective rather than the foreign language perspective, and delve more into my academic interests. I also really hope to be able to make a connection with my future students and learn more about where they come from and how they approach learning English.
Enjoy my blog!
Kelsey
