WELCOME!
Welcome to my home page. As you may have gathered from the large, maroon name at the top of the page, my name is John M. Spartz. Currently, I am a PhD Candidate in English Language and Linguistics in the
English Department at
Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Presently, I am working on my dissertation, and plan to defend it in July of 2008. I also have two secondary areas of concentration: Professional Writing and ESL.
This fall, I am teaching two courses: English 227: Fundamentals of Linguistics and English 420E: Business Writing for Entrepreneurs, while also serving as a professional writing mentor to instructors in the
Professional Writing Program here at Purdue. Please visit the above links to find out more regarding my academic, teaching, and personal life.
