Hailing from the most beautiful Caribbean island, Saint Lucia, I am Vernelle K. Alphonse-Cerry 艾欣, a student of National Chung Cheng University's 國立中正大學 ELMD department. As an educator by profession, for the past twenty-one years, I have been dedicated to fostering student growth and engagement through innovative teaching methods. My passion for language learning and educational leadership has driven me to explore technology-enhanced instruction to equip students with the skills they need to thrive in an ever-evolving technological world.
This journey has become even more personal as my 9-year-old son, who is deeply fascinated by both languages and technology, inspires me daily. Being at a prime age for language acquisition, he motivates me to harness the power of AI tools not only to support his multilingual learning in engaging and meaningful ways but also to enrich the learning experiences of my students. By integrating AI into my teaching practice, I aim to make language learning more interactive, accessible and relevant for all learners.
Welcome to my e-Portfolio for the Technology-Enhanced English Language Learning course! This website serves as a comprehensive documentation of my journey throughout the course, showcasing a collection of projects, personal reflections, and key insights gained from each module. It highlights the transformative potential of technology in enhancing both language learning and teaching, while also documenting my evolving understanding of how digital tools, especially AI, can be meaningfully integrated into educational practice.
Through this course, I have explored a wide range of technology-enhanced strategies designed to make language learning more engaging, accessible and personalized. Each step of the journey has contributed to my growth as an educator and shaped my vision of what it means to be a future-ready educational leader. As I continue to expand my skill set, I look forward to applying these tools not only in my professional teaching practice but also in my personal life, particularly as I support my 9-year-old son’s fascination with languages and technology. I invite you to explore this e-portfolio and join me in discovering how innovation and education can work hand in hand to inspire lifelong learning.
