Comments I continued to do research while working as an English teacher in public junior high schools because I wanted to build bridges between the theory and practice of teaching English. I often visit elementary schools and devised and taught English classes which can facilitate the smooth transition from elementary to junior high school English. Based on my experience and research, I want to contribute to the field of teacher training by demonstrating theory-based instructional techniques in actual classroom situations.
