I got my Bachelor's from U of Michigan-Flint in 2004 with majors in French, Linguistics and International Studies. I studied at Université Laval in Quebec in the summer of 2003. I finished my Master's in Linguistics and Teaching ESL at Oakland University in 2007. I taught ESL at Oakland for 6 months, for 2 years as an English Language Assistant in Annecy, France and then another 2 years as an English lecturer at the the Université de Savoie in Chambéry, France. I am the author of two books for Dover Publications: Say it in French and Great French Short Stories, available in late 2011/early 2012.Now I work as the webmaster of www.ielanguages.com and I have just relocated to Adelaide, Australia, to start my PhD in Languages & Linguistics at UniSA. I will be analyzing the vocabulary taught in French language textbooks used at Anglophone universities, and how well these textbooks prepare students to understand informal, spoken French as well as other varieties of French besides the standard Parisian accent.
