Since then Dr. Barrett has gone on to make important contributions to second language education in many areas. During her graduate training at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Barrett collaborated with leading thinkers in world language education. Her experience in the Ivy League armed her with the skill to implement communication-based language teaching that leads to the best fluency results. For over 10 years, she taught world languages and trained teachers in K-12 and higher education. Because of her experience as a software engineer, she has also infused into Brilliant Bilingual a technology-rich culture to better meet learners’ needs. Moreover, Dr. Barrett is an award-winning scholar with a strong record of international publications and presentations on language education. Her work has been shared in countries all over the world, including England, Canada, China and India.

 

For our founder, Brilliant Bilingual is much more than a company. It’s a bridge to a new identity. An avid change agent, Dr. Barrett currently serves as president of the Foreign Language Action Group at Stonewall Tell Elementary School in Fulton County, GA. Her goal is to motivate today’s learners and educational leaders to embrace the idea that bilingualism is not only possible, it is worth every life-changing moment. Brilliant Bilingual is proud to support individuals and communities in achieving the bilingual advantage!
