My name is Tonya Pettigrew (formerly Kaushik, but I'm happily divorced now and back to my "real" name), and I graduated from Winston-Salem State University with an M.A. in Teaching English as a Second Language and Applied Linguistics in December 2012. This site is a collection of documents from my time in the program. I hope other students will find them useful, but please do not plagiarize. Thanks.
