Educators are always looking for ways to improve student learning in the classroom. After teaching for 19 years in various colleges and universities in the USA, Dr. Joyce Ashuntantang came to the conclusion that one of the most effective ways of maximizing students potential in and out of the classroom is to get them enthusiastic about the world around them. Enthusiasm is key to unlocking students’ abilities and sustaining them. Born in Cameroon, Central Africa, Dr. Joyce Ashuntantang is an Associate Professor of English at University of Hartford’s Hillyer College. Poet, actress, and fiction writer, she is the author of many scholarly and creative publications. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
