Personal Statement of Teaching Philosophy, Goals and Achievements During my twenty years as a teacher at CWU, I have continued to emphasize relevance as it pertains to the study of French. In beginning and intermediate classes I teach. Students are encouraged to integrate aspects of their day-to-day activities into drills and exercises. In this way, linguistic and cultural abstractions of the textbook are gradually replaced by concrete experiences and, as a result, students see how the study of a foreign language can work for them in a manner that is more germane to their daily lives. In addition, I have directed the focus of my teaching toward making the enjoyment of foreign language studies an experience that does not stop once the students leave the classroom. I have sponsored several out of class activities such as French Table (a conversation group that meets weekly) and French Film Week so students can develop their language skills in a less structured, more relaxed atmosphere. Here again, I encourage students to examine their personal world as it meshes with the Francophone community. V. Academic Acticities A.
