Episode 4
Cherie Dennis is Georgia's 2022 Teacher of the Year. She is also a dedicated, lifelong language teacher and learner. Currently she teaches ESOL at Hesse K8 in Savannah, GA. We discuss Cherie's early experience learning language, her travels and how Japanese helped her land a career in advertising, and how a move to Savannah in 2004 led her to pivot and enter the classroom as a teacher. Then we dive into all things ESOL, and Cherie provides some tips and perspectives on how to enhance the language-learning classroom.
