Welcome!  I hope this class is both educational and enjoyable for you. My name is Dr. Becky NeSmith.  I have taught middle and high school English and ESL for more 20 years, and I have taught at the college level for more than five years.  I earned my bachelor's degree in language arts from Jacksonville State University, my master's degree in instructional leadership from Jacksonville State University, my master’s degree in ESL from The University of Alabama at Birmingham, and my doctoral degree in ESL from Northcentral University.  I love learning, and I love helping others learn.  Let's have an amazing year!
