About Howard

I have conducted classes, in various subjects, in both public and private educational institutions for more than 20 years. Prior to being certified to teach French and Spanish in Oklahoma public schools, I taught the computer languages COBOL and RPG at two private business colleges and darkroom courses in both black and white and color photography at Rogers State University in Claremore, Oklahoma and for the continuing education department of Tulsa Public Schools. Class sizes varied from 8-12 students in the photography classes to 28 or more students in the public school, college, and computer programming courses I taught. The foreign language courses I taught in the public schools introduced students to both new languages and different cultures while enabling some of them to complete both credits needed for their high school diplomas and the two year foreign language requirement demanded by many colleges to complete many degree programs. The students to whom I taught computer languages were able to obtain jobs as computer operators; some of them even secured entry-level jobs as programmers. The photography classes consisted of many students who enjoyed photography as a hobby. However, several of my students secured positions with local newspapers which required both picture-taking and darkroom skills in the years prior to digital photography. The ESL classes enabled students to succeed in all the areas requiring language skills: buying groceries, getting a job--and, sometimes, qualifying for a better job, understanding verbal and written news, and getting public school and college degrees.

About the lesson

I graduated from Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK in 2003 with a B.A. majoring in Spanish. I was certified by the Board of Education of the State of Oklahoma to teach both French and Spanish in public schools, from pre-K through grade 12 and taught both French and Spanish at three different public schools in Oklahoma. Prior to and subsequent to obtaining my college degree, I taught ESL (English-as-a-Second Language) to adults at: the Tulsa English Institute, as an adjunct professor at Tulsa Community College, and the YWCA of Tulsa.
As a public school teacher, I taught both French and Spanish to junior high and high school students bilingually, using textbooks and workbooks purchased by the school systems.
For the adult (ESL) classes, I also used materials supplied by my employers, but supplemented those materials with books, magazines and newspapers. I generally taught my ESL classes using the immersion method (English only), but occasionally conducted my classes bilingually, if the class were made up entirely of new immigrants whose first language was Spanish. I began each semester of ESL classes with an explanation of the US monetary system and "English" system of weights and measures, with the equivalent conversions to the Metric System.
In addition to giving out and correcting written assignments for all of my students, I emphasized oral practice among my students and between myself and students. I introduced new material using a lecture approach, but preferred to facilitate already introduced material, allowing my students maximum time to "vocalize" the language.
