Erin Wynn

After graduating from NYU in 1994, I moved to South Korea where I started my teaching career. I spent two years teaching ESL in Seoul, SK. When I moved back to the U.S., I returned to New York City and got my Master's in TESOL. While getting my degree, I was a middle school Language Arts teacher in Brooklyn, NY. In the early 2000's, I decided to leave New York, and I moved to Saudi Arabia for another opportunity to teach overseas again. Since 2006, I have been in Rhode Island and happily teaching at JWU. I was hired as an adjunct professor in 2006 and became a full-time faculty in 2007. I am truly fortunate to teach at JWU and consider myself lucky to be in the classroom with today's students. I consider it a privilege to be teaching and learning in and out of the classroom with the future of our country.

Teaching Interests

Getting my students involved in their learning is the key to my teaching. I think that if we all 'do' and not just listen, learning is a more dynamic experience. We should all be life-long learners and embrace the idea that knowledge is power, and as we sit in our classes and experience learning, we are changing the world.
