Jennifer Wisner
My name is Jennifer
Wisner, and I am a senior at Central
Michigan University studying French and English. I grew up in a
small town in West Michigan. This past summer I spent six weeks at the
Université
de Québec à Chicoutimi.
I was in a French immersion program, and it was AWESOME! It was like summer
camp for big kids! After that, I spent six weeks at Michigan State University at the Linguistics Society of America Summer
Institute. I took classes in Phonology, Syntax, and Sociolinguistics, trying
to decide if any of those could hold my interest in future study.
My goals include finishing my under grad
work here at CMU and then teaching
either French or English in a high school at some as-of-yet-undetermined
location for an also undetermined amount of time. I hope to go to grad
school, but I don't know yet what, specifically, I'd like to study. I'm
thinking about linguistics or ESL/EFL, but hopefully that's what teaching
high school for a little while will help me decide. There's also a program
I am going to apply for after I finish my under grad work where I would
be able to teach English for a year in France, and hopefully that will
also help me to be a little more specific about my future plans. Maybe I'll
spend a little time in France...
Or then again, maybe I'll go back to Québec!
