Hello and nice to meet you. My name is Philip Riccobono and I currently teach English language learners at Kobe University in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. I am originally from the U.S., having lived on both coasts. I have had the pleasure of teaching English learners in Thailand, South Korea, and Japan. I completed my Ph.D. at Kyung Hee University in Seoul, South Korea. My research interests include corpus linguistics, ESP, vocabulary acquisition and MALL. I enjoy sharing my research and presenting at conferences, meeting like-minded educators who seek new approaches to help our learners. My family and I will soon return to Southern Nevada, where I will resume working in CCSD. I have been an active member of Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT), functioning in different capacities as an officer of the Osaka Chapter. I look forward to meeting you! Thank you.

When not teaching, you might find me working with learners of varying forms of ESP. Chiba Kita High School Baseball Club Baseball English Seminar

Hi Vanessa! Thank you so much for your note. Teaching ELL and researching in Asia has been an incredible chapter, filled with an abundance of growth. I plan on visiting LV mid-March and would love to attend a meeting. If you like, I can present something.

 

If all goes well, my family and I will relocate to Southern Nevada next summer.

 

Have a great semester!

Philip

    Welcome!

    Hello everyone! My name is Vanessa Mari and I am the president of NVTESOL. I have been working very hard to make sure this organization is active and meets the needs of all educators. I am currently working as an Assistant Professor of TESL at Nevada State College. I teach all of the TESOL required courses for endorsement. Before moving to Henderson, I worked in Peru as an English language fellow. During this time I offered professional development to English teachers and taught English at the University of Piura. I completed my Ph.D at the University of Texas San Antonio in the department of Bicultural and Bilingual studies. This was a great learning opportunity as I had the privilege of visiting and working with teachers in multiple bilingual schools. I have also worked as an English teacher in Puerto Rico (where I was born and raised!). My past teaching experiences have been very gratifying and that is why I want to collaborate with other educators who are also growing as teachers. I am looking forward to meeting you all soon!
