 David Julseth On engaging students: "What better way could there be to teach students a language, a culture, than to have them be of service to that culture? That's why many of my classes have a service component. One of my students, a pre-med and Spanish double major, translated in a clinic for an English-speaking doctor with Spanish-speaking patients. In a class on Cuba, all the students went into local Cuban households to serve as English tutors and ended with wonderful exposure to Cuban food, music, and history." On classroom style: "Belmont allows you to grow as a teacher. As a result, I've developed an eclectic teaching style -- really a collection of styles, as opposed to a single methodology. That gives me the flexibility, from class to class, to take an approach that connects with that particular group of students. I tailor my teaching to be effective." |
