Shannon Griffin

I am passionate about intercultural exchange and language learning as a vehicle for enhancing understanding between people and cultures. I currently teach in a K-8 language immersion school in French. I also teach ESL to adult learners.

In addition I have created curriculum and taught intercultural communication competence for graduate students at Skema Business School.

I recently completed an MA, writing a thesis on: “Cultivating Empathy and Global Ethics Through Bilingual Education”

I believe we can most effectively communicate with people if we meet them where they are — in their native language and culture or in a shared language and cultural space we create together.
