Transitioning from Engl 495 to Engl 343....

Hello! I am Melinda Harrison. This is my "introduction" post for English 343. I used this blog address during the Fall 2012 semester for English 495, Second Language Writing.

This semester I am taking my tenth and eleventh ISU English graduate courses. I am a "late arriver" in the TESOL area, deciding just last semester to add coursework to obtain a TESOL certificate. I also hold an Illinois Secondary (grades 6 - 12) teaching certificate in Language Arts/English with endorsements in middle school Social Studies and high school Psychology. I taught junior and senior high school English courses for several years after earning my Bachelor's degree. I have also served as a home-bound educator for Bloomington's District 87 and a substitute teacher for ISU's University High School in addition to working on my Master's degree.

I'm looking forward to this semester's work in this course and my other TESOL course, Dr. Kang's online 344 course.
