LOGANN SHORTER
MA TESOL Student
GET TO KNOW ME!
Hiya! I am Logann Shorter and welcome to my MA TESOL e-portfolio. I am a current first-year MA TESOL student at the University of Alabama, and I hold a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Minor in Psychology. I am a current Graduate Teaching Assistant where I co-teach the EN 102 course; an English composition writing class for multilingual L2 English Learners.
​
I knew that I wanted to go into English Language L2 teaching since I was in high school and was determined to reach my goal of becoming an English teacher in South Korea. As preparation, I have been studying Korean as a foreign language for over 5 years and have been able to dedicate myself to learning the language and culture more consistently since attending the University of Alabama. As a current intermediate KFL student, I hope to use my language and cultural knowledge as the backbone of my social experiences in Korea, as well as my education in SLA pedagogical methods.

Teaching Demo
During this teaching demonstration to MA TESOL students, I was able to present a shortened version of a lesson plan prepared for a 50-minute course focused on reading for language learning purposes.
Demo Lesson Plan
This lesson plan was designed for a 50-minute course whose main goal is to improve the L2 (English) in the realm of language comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and pronunciation through task-based and CLIL-based reading activities.
Teuida App Evaluation
This paper aimed to evaluate the design and aspects of The Teuida Korean and Japanese learning app as well as provide a critique on missing features that may improve language acquisition.
