THE TWISTED DOORS
Author and Editor
Kathie Dior is an Indiana University graduate and former medical doctor educated at the Université de Paris, France. She attended
the Sorbonne in Paris and received a Certificat de Phonétique Appliquée à la Langue
Française. After having lived and worked in Paris for thirteen years, she
has become a teacher and writer using her life experiences in the creation
of The Twisted Doors series. Her books, Les portes tordues, and Las puertas retorcidas
are being used to teach French and Spanish at the Purdue University Gifted Education
Resource Institute in West Lafayette, Indiana. Her newly released English-as-a-Second-Language textbook, The Twisted Doors, is based on her
experience as an international student in France, and as a mom, who had to vigorously tutor her French-speaking son for years in the US: his school had no instruction at that time for English-language learners.
