Meet your mentor who is
happy and ready to help you become a teacher-researcher!
Hello
fellow teachers! My name is Nilufar
Tillayeva. I received my MA in TESOL from Webster University in
Tashkent, Bachelor’s Degree in English philology from ASPIL. Currently, I am an
adjunct professor and ESL instructor in the MA TESOL program at Webster University in Tashkent.My ambitions: I would
like to contribute to the quality of EFL teaching in Uzbekistan, investigate
the issues of the field, and be a valuable asset to the education system of
Uzbekistan.
Message
to your mentees about the training:
- Are you teaching nonstop?
- Are you
concerning a lot?
- Are you
preparing tons of worksheets?
BUT
- Have you
achieved the desired outcomes?
- Have you
ever analyzed your way of teaching comparing 21st-century skills?
- How can уou define a 21-century
teacher?
My research interests that I would like to help my mentees with: critical thinking in EFL classes, curriculum design, material design, assessment.
Keep
in mind, Teaching is not enough today. Teachers are not only teachers. They are researchers, material
designers, assessors, etc. If you
want to enjoy your work, try to solve the problems which are happening in your
class, do not make an assumption, address the experienced teachers and experts.
Apply your findings in the class and share your success and research findings with your community
(at the local and international level). The starting point is always difficult. The NETRUZ
PROJECT will definitely help you to find out yourself as an inquiring teacher and a researcher.
Don’t
forget you are the right person to change your class, your community and the
world.
