abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">How can college education, especially language and literature studies, help students better understand themselves and the world they live in? How does a language or literature
teacher connect reading and writing activities with the broader society beyond class? This
autoethnographic essay reflects upon these two questions through a critical examination of
my use of autoethnography in college writing courses. Drawing from communication theories and my own teaching experience, I will demonstrate how teaching autoethnography
develops students’ critical thinking skills and motivates them to connect their learning with
broader social issues. The paper will first share my struggles as a literature scholar and college writing teacher. Then I will discuss how my autoethnography teaching bridges teaching with research and helps students better understand language.</p>},
