PROFFESSIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY

Journal articles and books are great resources to gain knowledge from various scholars in the field. Reading has been an inspiring experience for me to learn about the various issues and the authors' stances, and, most importantly, to better inform my teaching. The following entries are only some of the readings I have done that reflect my interests in the field of TESOL and how they have helped me think critically while developing my own perspective of the issues.
