About MRs. FOSTER Hello! My name is Nurit Foster, and I'm the ESL teacher at Hillside Middle School. This is my 5th year with Northville Public Schools, but I have been working with ESL students for over 9 years. I went to the University of Michigan for my Bachelor’s Degree in English Education (Go Blue!) and I received my Master’s Degree in TESOL from Eastern Michigan University in 2012. I love spending time with my family, playing with my dog, reading, and scrapbooking!
I believe that maintaining your native language while learning a second language is extremely important and valuable. Therefore, I highly recommend that you continue to have your child communicate in his or her first language at home, while also practicing his or her new English skills. I also strongly believe in collaboration! Students truly learn from all of us, every day. If you have ideas, share them with me! Please feel free to contact me with any question or concern you may have at [email protected]. |
