Special Session of the SLS Brown Bag Lecture Series:
\nTeaching ESL in the Peace Corps<\/h3>\n

Thursday, November 19, 2020
\n3:00 to 4:00 pm
\nTo register, please visit http:\/\/go.hawaii.edu\/3QJ<\/a><\/h4>\n

Presenters: Stephanie Sang (Peace Corps Representative, Â鶹´«Ã½M\u0101noa)
\nDr. Betsy Gilliland (Associate Professor, Second Language Studies)
\nRickey Larkin, Jr. (PhD Student, Second Language Studies)<\/p>\n

The Peace Corps offers opportunities to engage in many kinds of much-needed work, but one area where they often need great people is in teaching English as a second language (ESL). Stephanie Sang, the UHM representative for the Peace Corps, will be giving a presentation about teaching ESL in the Peace Corps, followed by a Q&A panel session including Stephanie and also Dr. Betsy Gilliland and Rickey Larkin, Jr., both from Second Language Studies.<\/p>\n

Stephanie was a Peace Corps volunteer in Madagascar from 2016 to 2018, where she served as an ESL teacher. She also was invited by the Ministry of Education of Madagascar to assist with a national revision to the English curriculum — so she had some amazing experiences that might be quite similar to things SLS students aspire to do.<\/p>\n

Betsy was a Peace Corps volunteer in Uzbekistan from 1998 to 2000. She taught English at Bukhara State University and co-directed a regional English Club for high school and university students in the city. During the summers, she directed and taught at girls\u2019 leadership and English language camps in several regions.<\/p>\n

Rickey was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines from 2013 to 2014. He served as a teacher-librarian at the central elementary school of San Jose, Samar. He also led, participated in, and planned various teacher training programs throughout the island alongside fellow volunteers and local counterparts.<\/p>\n

Although the Peace Corps is limited to American citizens, you may want to join the session even if you are not a US citizen \u2013 Stephanie, Betsy, and Rickey are familiar with similar organizations in other countries, and may be able to help steer you toward those organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
