Abstract	Sarina Monh, a lecturer at the prestigious Royal University of Phnom Penh's (RUPP) Institute of Foreign Languages (IFL) in Cambodia, comes from a family of teachers. Her father's family taught Khmer literature and mathematics, while her mother's family members were doctors, nurses,and midwives who trained and mentored others. Still, she said, "I didn't expect to become a teacher. I accidentally liked the English language." Because of her family's background, it is fitting that Ms. Monh's first experience learning a language was studying with her mother--but she was learning French, not English. However, as she got older her father encouraged her to study English as he believed it would replace French as Cambodia's second language. Once she started learning English, she unexpectedly began to enjoy it. Ms. Monh's interest in English continued, and after she graduated from the IFL in 2005 with a Bachelor of Education degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, she became a lecturer at her alma mater. By doing so, she continued the family tradition of teaching others. This brief article describes her teaching career at IFL including her efforts to support rural English teachers, preparation for her English lessons, development of a classroom routine that facilitates active and participatory learning, and professional development activities she participates in outside the classroom.
