In my teaching, I center the learning process and encourage students to ask questions. I encourage them not just to find the right answers, but to understand why those answers matter. Through exploring the core ideas of linguistic theory, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that go far beyond the course itself.
I take an inquiry-based approach, where curiosity drives learning. That means it’s okay not to have everything figured out right away. Instead of focusing solely on final results, I want students to feel comfortable digging into complex ideas, making mistakes, and exploring new ways of thinking. The goal is to help students build a flexible, adaptable skill set they can take with them, whether they stay in academia or head in a completely different direction.
