Uruguay

• Teaching English
   
• English Teaching Assistantship

As a Fulbright scholar in Uruguay, I will work as an English-language teaching assistant in local high schools and teacher training centers. In class, I will share my knowledge of U.S. culture through its literature while developing English language skills. My independent research about how Uruguayan literature is taught in local high schools, and how this contributes to the formation of a cultural identity, will support and enhance my work as an English teacher.


• Teaching English as a Foreign Language
  
  I will incorporate innovative teaching methods to energize my English-learning students. While absorbing as much of Uruguayan culture possible, I will be an informal ambassador inside and outside the classroom. I will share my knowledge of the U.S. informally in my daily interactions and formally by giving presentations about the U.S. I will also research the relationship between newspapers and democracy with two Uruguayan professors.
