Edina Kikic
Professor Of Bosnian Language And Literature
Summary
I am compassionate and creative language teacher, well versed in preparing independently for online classes, developing and implementing diverse curriculums. Able to tend to specific issues in regards to special background and culture when it comes to students.
Highly skilled at motivating students through positive encouragement and reinforcement to develop strong literacy, confidence, social and learning skills.
It is of the great importance for me to allow the energy of the momentum to take a part in the on line classroom; within the prepared structure or a theme for the day, a space to innovate, converse and play.
As a writer, and specifically a content writer, I am successful at utilizing the creative tools I developed and studied for years. Within the range of the specific amount of words, I am able to structure and communicate, clearly and precisely using the experience I acquired working with English language.
