Reading, writing, ESL, the education booster

I enjoy reading and writing a great deal. It is an art form that can have practical applications in just about every type of work and opportunity. How does a person project their creative or technical talents through words? Within proper grammar and sentence structure is the heart and soul of idea, and vision. Often the first step is to discover the works of others through thoughtful reading.
I have been a writing tutor through my ESL job teaching in China for a year. The needs here were basic sentence structure and grammar. This is key to finding an international based job or education opportunity. But it is also important domestically. Learning to write can open up doors that were closed before, even to those who can speak well.
But so do all other forms of education at any age. I have a great deal of patience and a thoughtful approach to learning within all of my subject areas.

Writing

Writing consists of a lot more than just proper sentence structure and punctuation. The ability to articulate thoughts and/or facts is at the core of the writing process. Whether it's technical, or creative, fact or fiction, the writer has the ability to create immersion and understanding on any subject.

We write about what we know, and often about what we dream. We can learn to create the right emphasis on facts, or place the reader into a setting. They can imagine that they are really... Read More

English as a second language involves instruction in speaking, writing, and thinking to non-native speakers. This is done to prepare them to live and interact in an English speaking environment. Learning definitions, sentence structure, syntax, and verbal pronunciation are all elements.

Those engaging in the pursuit of learning English after they are native speakers of another language, have varying reasons for doing so. But the most common is relocation... Read More

Anthropology

I have a BS degree in Anthropology, with a heavy focus on Pacific, Asian, and Native American cultures.

Anthropology in a basic sense is the study of culture. It is the science of discovering and documenting interactions of human species throughout living history. We study ancestry, and the unique characteristics and specific practices of a culture. Modern Anthropology immerses the scientist into the culture in order to obtain a first hand understanding. This allows us to claim accuracy... Read More

Archaeology

I was a participant at an 19th century farmhouse dig in Jacksonville, OR. This included digs in meter squares, using .5 inch layers, cataloging, and reconstruction of pottery remains.

Archaeology is the study of human relics and remains, fossils, monuments, and evidence of structures. With this investigation we put the puzzle pieces together to reconstruct the history and lifestyle of past lives.

Cataloging artifacts is a large part of this science when layers of earth are... Read More
