Language Teacher
Rebekah Skoog
Bio:
I spent the last 10 years in Missoula, MT, where I completed my doctorate in Cultural Anthropology with a focus on language learning. I also served as Director of Learning Solutions at Accelerate Montana, where I worked to make education more accessible and stackable for individuals outside traditional educational systems. Most notably, I was part of a team working to embed Blackfoot Living Principles and cultural competencies into job descriptions. Prior to my time in Montana, I taught French and co-directed theatre activities at Tilton School in New Hampshire, and served as a French Teacher and Global Studies Mentor at Greens Farms Academy in Westport, CT. I earned my M.A. through Middlebury College鈥檚 CV Star program in Paris and hold a B.A. from Bowling Green State University. I am particularly interested in understanding the relationship between community and the propensity for learning languages.
Education:
B.A., Anthropology and French, Bowling Green State University; M.A., French Language, Culture, and Civilization, Middlebury College, C.V. Starr Program in Paris; Ph.D., Anthropology of Education, with a focus on Language learning in rural communities
Athletic Interest:
I am an avid outdoor athlete. I enjoy climbing, hiking, mountain biking, and, above all, skate skiing.
Fun fact:
One of the hardest questions for me to answer is “where are you from?” I have lived in 9 states and three different cities in France. I used to say I was from Ohio because I lived there for 8 years, but now Montana beats that!
