This portfolio is a compilation of second language teaching research and ideas put together during the author���s time as a MSLT student. It includes a personal teaching philosophy supported by three related artifacts. It also contains an annotated bibliography with an overview of some of the research examined during her time in the program. Her personal teaching philosophy underscores how communicative language teaching can help students learn language through meaningful use. The artifacts suggest ways to implement communicative language teaching by teaching language in content, using multimedia authentic texts, and teaching sociolinguistics and pragmatics.
