Rachel is presently a PhD candidate in Umass in Boston. From 2016 to 2017, she was an English language fellow in Guinea. She’s passionate about sociolinguistics and how to empower all students in her classroom. We discuss the metaphor of teaching as an art. We learn about her experiences adjusting to the differences of life from where she grew up in DC to Guinea and how she was treated. We also discuss rhe impacts of colonialism based on the French or the English influence and how that impacts language learning in different countries.
