[nobe-l] New member introduction (Teaching English as asecondlanguage)

[Karl Martin Adam]

Hi Ashley,

I don't know much about the k-12 system, but at least in college 
there is a trend toward paperless classrooms that makes it a lot 
easier for blind people to grade papers.  Students are required 
to word process their papers anyway, so it's just as easy for 
them to e-mail in their papers or submit them to a course 
management system, and it saves them printing costs.  It works 
really well for us because of course a blind person can comment 
on a digital paper just the way a sighted person can.

Best,
Karl

Emily,
haven't seen you before.
How long have you taught writing? Do you have a mastters in 
english?

How do you read and correct student papers? Normally professors 
write
comments between the lines since papers are double spaced, and 
also in
margins.

Nice to see you're on list.

Ashley

Hi Miranda,

Nice to meet you! My name is Emily, and I teach college writing 
courses. I’ve
taught grammar workshops for multilingual learners, which I 
really enjoy! I
love interacting with our international students, and I’m 
always up for
talking shop.

With best,
Emily

 Hello,

 My name is Miranda, and I am currently assisting in an English 
as a second
 language (ESL) class for adult English language learners (ELL's) 
in my
 local
 community. I am studying to teach ESL as part of my college 
education, and
 I
 am completely blind. I have joined this list to connect with 
other
 teachers
 who are visually impaired, and to possibly connect with anyone 
who is
 teaching in the same subject area as well.

 Thank you, and I wish each of you a Happy New Year!
