French and Theory of Knowledge

I  attended La Sorbonne, University of Paris, where I received my teaching degree in French literature in addition to studying pedagogy, philosophy and psychology. I also attended the McNeese University in Louisiana where I took a course in “Philosophies of Education”.  I taught French literature in Paris and later in Quebec, Canada. I then began teaching French as an additional language in countries around the world before arriving at BISW in 2003.  As a world traveler myself, I like the fact that BISW represents such a diverse international community.
