"It is a pleasure to be part of this amazing series. My name is Claire McLaughlin and I am currently an instructor, curriculum designer, and teacher trainer at Global Launch of Arizona State University. I am fortunate to say that I have been teaching English as a second language for thirty years. My journey as an ESL teacher began in Japan where I taught English in a small community to students from 4 years old to 80 years old. I have also taught ESL in public elementary and middle schools, community programs, intensive English programs, community colleges, and universities. Like many teachers around the world, I am adding teaching online to my experience as well. My Masters degree is in Education with a focus on ESL. Service learning is one of my passions, and several of my students have participated in a variety of service learning projects. I look forward to sharing them with you." - Claire McLaughlin
