Welcome to ESL Blogs!

Hello everyone! My name is Jinan Al-Hunayan and I will be your instructor for this course. I am excited to get to know everyone. Previously, I taught English as a Second Language in the Language Center at the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training in Kuwait. Currently, I am completing my Ph.D. at Southern Illinois University majoring in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Language Literacy and Culture.  I have a deep passion for incorporating educational technology to aid in learning new languages and enhance learner engagement. My random hobbies include practicing Karate, fishing, cooking, and indulging in delicious foods from around the world.
I wanted to create a safe space for students to blog about things they are passionate about to practice their writing skills. So, please feel free to share and comment on each other's blog posts.
