Living in Languages
The students explore what it is like to live in languages: Catherine teaches English as a foreign/new language, Diona teaches Spanish as a foreign/new language and Ariah is bilingual native speaker. They each bring three original perspectives on how they use language in teaching and in their everyday lives.
