I do
not use voicemail extension. To leave a
message, tell one of the secretaries or the student
workers who answer the switchboard, to physically
handwrite a note and place it in my
REG BOX: 1118.
NOTE: I do
not use my
voicemail.
APPOINTMENTS: I am on an
appointment-only
basis. Drop-in is not
encouraged. I am involved in quite a bit of activity
here at Lowell and my schedule is hectic. I would
rather give you quality time by an appointment rather
than having it seem like I'm blowing you off. Thanks
for understanding.

because we are to finally receive new books this

material geared for the AP Spanish Language Test.

I teach students the 3

Bilingual
Bicultural
Biliterate
As you know, the World Language Department here at
Lowell follows the California state Framework.
Students are expected to learn to communicate in the
target language by using the four basic skills: 1.
listening 2. speaking 3. reading 4. writing.
I employ a variety of teaching methods as well as
classroom organization models to attain this goal.
Students will be expected to communicate in diverse
ways in the target language rather than merely showing
knowledge about the language. Students learn and
practice receiving, formulating and sending real oral
messages in the target language. The purpose of world
language study is to prepare students in such a way as
to make them both linguistically competent and
culturally aware, and to enable them to experience
personal fulfillment that comes through developing
these skills.

MY
BACKGROUND
1. I
have been teaching for 32 years.
This is year number 33.
2. I
have an MA in Educational
Administration and Supervision of
Instruction, an MA in ESL/Spanish
Bilingual Education, and an MFA in
Creative Writing.
3. The
first time I came to Lowell was in
1992 from John O'Connell HS.
4. I was
a teacher for 8 years in New Jersey
before moving to California in 1986.
I have taught French, Spanish,
Italian, and ESL.
5. I
have lived (meaning that I've spent
at least 3 months) in the following
places: Paris, France; Perugia,
Italy; London, England; Madrid,
Spain; Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Why study World Languages?
With the 250 million in the United
States, 30 % speak a second
language. That's mucho, beaucoup,
molto!
Plus, knowing another language can
help you advance more quickly in a
job as well as being more marketable.
