Guest Lecturer and Volunteering Assistant/Obeserver

University of Central Florida

Jan 2020 – Apr 2020 Florida

In the Spring Semester of 2020, I assisted a professor in carrying out two EAP courses. In my time assisting the professor, I held my first public lecture on February 25th, 2020 for an EAP 1850 (English for Academic Purposes I) undergraduate class. Prior to the live lecture, several meetings with the profesor were conducted to discuss the class’s strengths and weaknesses in order to find the subject most beneficial for the students’ growth. My lecture’s subject was focused on sentence fragments and coordinating conjunctions. An accompanying powerpoint was also used for the lecture via screen projecting technology. In addition, I designed a cooresponding homework assignment for the students to complete after my lecture.
