A few brief thoughts from my reflection:
I gained the foundation for language teaching that I had been lacking
I found the program to be surprisingly interactive and collaborative, both with professors and peers
I now have a professional community to learn and collaborate with
My language teaching has become more complex: I now value pragmatics, intercultural competence, and sociolinguistic skills alongside language abilities
I feel equipped to be a teacher-leader in the realm of language instruction
I am looking forward to applying new skills, knowledge, and priorities by teaching language in my community
