... for the most part I'm an "English as a foreign language teacher" but that has come in many flavors over the years. Before moving overseas it was survival English to Southeast Asian refugees and Hispanic immigrants. In Saudi, I taught soldiers (in the Asir) before they entered a medical technician program. In Kuwait, I taught business/marketing English...and bizarrely even a course (in English) about the Hajj pilgrimage. At SQU it was "English for biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering." At the Mexican university I taught courses (in English) on linguistics, literature, and second language acquisition. Here in Japan it's a mix of general English and more specialized courses on child language development, intercultural communication, and EFL methodology (for future EFL teachers). My BA and MA are in linguistics and my PhD is a sort of mashup of linguistics and sociology.
