Dear Parents/Guardians:
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and welcome you
all to my ESL classroom. My name is Gaye Gulyasar. I worked as a Research
Assistant at a university in Turkey, taught ESL and English Language
Methodology at undergraduate level. I taught Kindergarten in Austin for four
years, and I did substitute teaching at different schools in the RRISD.
Besides these, I taught adult ESL for six years before I came to Grisham
Middle School last year. This will be my second year at Grisham as an ESL
teacher, and I will continue teaching adult ESL in the RRISD as well.
I have my Master’s Degree in ESL, and PhD in Child Development and Education.
love teaching ESL and having a chance to meet with students from all around
the world.
In our ESL classroom we’re going to do different activities to improve
listening, writing, reading, and speaking skills in English. We’ll also work
on improving communication skills as well as building foundation to master
content area courses such as English Language Arts, Science, Math, etc..
ESL classroom has a very unique and multicultural environment. Everyday we
are going to get together to share ideas and do everything we can to be the
masters of English language in our friendly and globally organized ESL
classroom.
Again welcome to a new school year! I’m very excited to be here, and I’m
looking forward to working with my students in our wonderful IB school.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions:)
Thank you,
Gaye Gulyasar, PhD

We'll learn how to take responsibility for our own learning, take an active
part in the communities in which we live, appreciate others, and become
independent learners.
