Creative writing is Greek to me: the continuing education of a language teacher

D. R. Ransdell

D. R. Ransdell has taught ESL in Durango, Mexico, and in Tucson, Arizona. She completed her Master's degree in ESL at the University of Arizona in 1990. She is currently working on a PhD in Rhetoric and Composition and teaching composition to non-native speakers of English.

Most language teachers improve their teaching skills through classroom work, journals, and conferences, but a more dramatic eye-opener is to start studying another language. Useful and beneficial outcomes of further language study are that teachers relive the frustrations of beginning language students, reconsider their own teaching principles, and experience another instructor's methods at first hand.
