Touro College TESOL Candidate Jessica Guzman’s Method Presentation

Jessica Guzman is an Elementary school teacher holding a Masters degree in Elementary Childhood Education. She is currently a Touro College candidate in the TESOL and Bilingual Department pursuing her TESOL Certification. She chose a quote that best describes her as a teacher. “A teacher who loves teaching teaches students to love learning.” She said, “The most rewarding part of my career is to see my students excited to learn and my greatest accomplishment is becoming a teacher.”

For this assignment in the course Methods and Materials for Teaching English as a Second Language Touro Teacher Candidates (TCs) plan, record on video teaching a brief mini- lesson to a specific ENL audience in a specifically designed approach to language learning.

It is a pleasure to feature Jessica Guzman’s teaching presentation as an example of a thoughtful submission of a “pretend” mini session.
