A French and Francophone studies major, Anna Munter ’14 of Washington, D.C., received a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship for Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Growing up in international schools with classmates from around the world, Munter learned from an early age that the “cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity of a student body enhances learning situations.” She believes that Malaysia, a nation that is both multicultural and predominantly Muslim, is the perfect environment to explore and expand on these observations.<\/p>\n

Munter finds activities that use the arts to be highly effective in both learning and teaching a foreign language. She hopes to take advantage of Malaysia’s rich cultural life “in utilizing everything from puppet shows to basket-weaving in order to personalize English lessons and promote intercultural exchange.”<\/p>\n

Her educational experience includes teaching in prekindergarten classrooms in Lewiston and at the Bates College Museum of Art.<\/p>\n

After Malaysia, Munter intends to pursue a master’s degree, specializing in either international education or special education. “I envision a career as an academic administrator in an international context,” she says.<\/p>\n
