In my teaching, I prioritize the learning process, emphasizing the importance of understanding the “why” behind questions and answers. By engaging with the underlying principles of linguistic theory, students develop higher-order thinking skills that benefit them beyond the classroom.
Focusing on the process does not diminish the value of the final result. Instead, it equips students with the practical skills needed to produce a successful end-of-term product. De-emphasizing the end-of-term result empowers students to approach new and possibly difficult concepts and information with curiosity. My goal is to ultimately help students acquire a versatile skill set that extends beyond linguistics and academia, preparing them for success in broader contexts.
