Upon graduating from Hope in 1976, Bill Moreau embarked on a 36-year career as a high school English teacher for Hamilton (Michigan) Community Schools. He served as the school district亚洲色吧檚 English Department chair (or co-chair) for 23 years and started Hamilton High School亚洲色吧檚 Advanced Placement English program. Bill taught AP English Literature and Composition during the last 17 years of his Hamilton teaching career.

After being selected as a Fulbright Teacher Exchange participant for the 1994亚洲色吧�95 academic year, Bill taught at Farlingaye High School in Woodbridge, England. As a result, he established a student exchange program between Hamilton High School and Farlingaye High School. During the 18 years this program ran, over 350 students from the two schools participated.

In 1983, Bill started teaching part-time at Hope College. In 2012, after 29 years as a part-time professor, he accepted a full-time position in Hope亚洲色吧檚 Department of English.

AREAS OF INTEREST

Bill has taught the secondary English methods class (English 380/381) at Hope since 1983. Over the years he has also taught dozens of sections of English 113: Special Topics, in which each professor designs the course around a chosen topic. In Bill亚洲色吧檚 亚洲色吧�113,亚洲色吧� students read three non-fiction books centering on three vastly different real-life survival scenarios, using them as examples of good writing and as inspirations for writing of their own. Supporting Hope students who want to teach middle school or high school English language arts and working with Hope亚洲色吧檚 first-year writers are his two pedagogical passions.
