Carole Poppleton

I began teaching when I was a graduate student pursuing an MA in literature. Like most students, I was hungry for money and thought that teaching writing and discussing short stories would be a rewarding way to spend time outside of my own studies. I often think of those first classroom experiences and how little I actually knew about teaching. All I can hope is that what I lacked in formal training I made up for in enthusiasm. I did discover, however, that I enjoyed working with students and that I had a knack for explaining things in a concise and understandable manner. What I was uncertain of, though, was whether I wanted to make a career out of teaching. Therefore, when I heard about teaching opportunities in Japan, I jumped at the chance to go. I figured I could travel a bit, learn about another culture and decide if I truly wanted to become a teacher full time. I sent a dozen or so resumes to Japan and took a job in a private language school all within a matter of weeks of my initial decision.  I spent almost two years in a "small" (well, over a million people) seaside town on the main island of Honshu. My town, Niigata, faced north toward Siberia, which should give you insight as to its climate: cold and snowy in winter, sticky and humid in the summer. Despite all the adjustments I had to make, I did discover that I really loved teaching and, specifically, teaching English to non­native speakers (EFL / ESL). While working in Japan, my youngest student was five, my oldest well into his seventies. I instructed English grammar, listening and reading courses as well as those centered on conversation and American cultural. It was very gratifying and a lot more fun than I had expected. I learned so much from my students and I really felt appreciated, as if I were helping them to discover something valuable and exciting. Based on my time overseas, I decided to redirect my studies and to specialize my teaching in the field of ESL. I received a diploma in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) in 1991 and a MA in Teaching in 1995.  From my education and my 12 years experience in the field of teaching and ESL, I have developed a pedagogy that is sound, yet flexible. As a teacher I have adopted what is commonly called a Whole-Language approach to learning. This methodology asserts that language acquisition is inclusive: the receptive skills of listening and reading are integrated fully with the productive skills of speaking and writing. Acknowledging and utilizing these elements helps me to create a scaffold for learning and gives the student maximum exposure to the target language. It is also imperative that students learn in a meaningful context; whatever we are reading about or responding to via writing must be of interest to the student. In the past I have often used art and artists as a thematic base for my composition classes. This has guaranteed me that almost all students will be able to connect with the material on some level. I have recently altered my approach, however, and now teach a more structured form of academic writing, using a text specifically designed for ESL students. The readings are sequenced in length and difficulty and the writing assignments that spring out of these readings are also sequenced, allowing the student to formulate a firm foundation in composition and to build upon that in increasingly more difficult linguistic assignments. I adhere to the belief that we rise to the level of expectations set for us; thus I attempt to teach just beyond a student's actual level to encourage growth and learning. This is not an easy feat when one's classroom is filled with students of varying levels of proficiency. It requires that 1, as a facilitator and teacher, work with students individually and respond to student work frequently.  I used to believe that teaching was something one does, but I now believe that teaching or, rather, being a teacher, is something one is. It is not a job that one "leaves" at the end of the day. It is an ongoing process of learning, sharing, and growing, for if I am not a perpetual student, how can I expect that same level of inquisitiveness from those whom I teach? I hope that I relate my enthusiasm for my subject matter to my students. I want them not only to become better speakers and writers of English but also to develop themselves as independent thinkers and life-long learners. Every experience, every encounter is an opportunity for personal growth and maturation. I stress to my students the importance of seeing the "connectedness" of things and of moving beyond themselves in order to obtain a more informed understanding of the world and their place in it.  In order for me to remain informed, I must participate in groups and organizations that support my discipline. I have been an active member of TESOL and Maryland TESOL for years. I am in my third year on the Board for Maryland TESOL and I co-edit the newsletter. Since I took over the directorship of the College's Writing Center in 1999, I have also become reacquainted with the philosophies that surround how to support writing, how to conduct successful tutorials and how to manage a Center whose primary goal is to be a safe, comfortable and helpful place for writers of all levels and disciplines to seek assistance. I have found it especially useful to attempt to integrate my knowledge of how to work effectively with non-native speakers into the training materials for tutors who staff the Center.  Finally, along side my work as a teacher and the Director of the Writing Studio, I am also a practicing visual artist. I have been making art since I was a child as creativity was highly valued in my family. I have experimented with a variety of media, from black and white photography to throwing on a potter's wheel. The form I like best at this stage in my life is mixed media because I can incorporate materials such as oils, cloth, print and pastels into my collages. I feel very fortunate to teach at MICA since I am constantly being exposed to world-class artists who are my colleagues and to innovative, creative artists who are my students.  Click here for her bibliography.
