Welcome to my portfolio! I am Alona Shupe, a Spanish teacher outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Here you will find a rich collection of my experiences and perspectives on teaching a language as well as the resources and research I have encountered during my studies at Michigan State University's Master of Arts in Foreign Language Teaching program. To say that the program has shaped and focused my goal as a language teacher is an understatement. I have always been passionate about what and how I teach, but I am now equipped with the skills necessary to critically discuss and defend classroom language teaching with many different strategies and methods
In this portfolio, please see my Teaching Philosophy that has changed greatly since they beginning of my studies and will continue to grow with my career. Locate my resume for my professional career and my OPI certificate for my Spanish language proficiency. This also contains many references to my technology use, videos of classroom instruction, integration of cultural competence in my lessons, and so much more!
