Hi, my name is Karina, and I am a Nursing and ESL student at Southern Utah University. I am original from Peru and English is my second language. I am very interested in activities and classes that can help me to improve my English skills. I am looking forward to help other ESL students in the process of learning English. Thanks Karina L.

My name is Jared. I am a non-traditional student and I have returned to complete a Bachelor degree in General Studies. I am an electrician and project manager for a building automation control company in Utah. I have enjoyed this class and have learned a lot about teaching ESL students and the challenges that both students and educators face in this area.

Welcome, my name is Nicole. I am a wife and mother of four great kids. Currently, I am a junior at Southern Utah University studying Elementary Education with an emphasis in mathematics. I added this course to help improve my teaching skills. I feel I can benefit from this course because the more I can learn about my students, their needs, and challenges it will make me a better teacher.
