Introduction: I firmly believe it is my responsibility as an ESL instructor to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment where students feel safe taking risks with their language. Individuals are celebrated for their talents and encouraged to challenge themselves with a rigorous curriculum.
My enthusiasm for teaching has translated into an enthusiasm for learning by my students. After completing my course, students have communicated to me that I have become a small voice of reason and motivation in their heads whenever they begin an essay, register for a class, or even conjugate a verb. That is the reason why I teach.
