My Academic Life in the United States

In the fall of 1996, I came to the United States to study at Winona State Universtiy, where I got my second mster's degree in English Studies. Starting from the fall of 1998, I embarked on my Ph.D. study at Illinois State University, majoring in Technical Communication. These three and half years of studies have been very fruitful for me. Academically I have gained knowledge in literature, linguistics, Teaching English as Second Lnaguage, and technical communication; culturally, I have enriched my experiences by my everyday contacts with American people--friends, professsors, classmates, and students. My traveling to some cities and States in the US--Chicago, Washsington DC, Florada, New York, Harrisberg in PA has enabled me to know more about this culturally diversified and economically well-developed country.

Here is the site where I put some of the course papers I have done for some classes. These include the papers for literature, linguistic, teaching composition, technical communication, master's thesis, and internship proposal.
