Instructors have provided the following information to generally describe what to expect in their classes.

Japanese

Teaching style

I strive to create a comfortable space where everyone is encouraged to collaborate and use Japanese to communicate with each other. I’m available for any questions or advice about resources to help learn Japanese, but I believe language can’t be learned alone. I encourage my students to engage with authentic material and their classmates as much as possible.

Background and other interests

I earned my BA in Japanese (and a BS in Biology) from Emory University, and an MA in East Asian Languages and Cultures (Japanese Track) from Florida State University. I love all types of visual storytelling, from animation to comics to live-action cinema.
