OSU-N senior seeks to improve teaching

With wisdom beyond his 31 years, Clayton Caroon is embarking on another adventure. As a senior English major at the Newark campus of Ohio State University, Caroon, of Newark, will travel back to Vietnam for eight weeks this fall. His goal is to study Vietnamese teaching methods and culture that can be incorporated with English-teaching methods. His goal is to improve methods for teaching English to people who speak other languages. This is an underserved population, which is growing tremendously,” Caroon said. “There are a lot of English majors in the world but not a lot of English as a Second Language teachers.”
