Biography
Jangyo Parsons has been teaching in the university setting in Southern California, South Korea, and Ohio since 2013. She has been teaching a variety of English language courses to speakers of other languages and linguistics courses to undergrad and graduate students. In Southern California, she taught in the TESL and TEFL programs to native and non-native speakers of English as well as trained K-12 English teachers while teaching in South Korea for 5 years. Her teaching interest mostly lies in English composition and she tries to stay current with new pedagogical methods in teaching writing to speakers of other languages. She feels most rewarded when witnessing her students’ progress in finding their own voices in writing.
