I was a reporter for United Daily News for 20 years in Taiwan. My field was in Education and Culture. I immigrated to the US in 2008 and decided to transfer my career to a Chinese teacher.
There are more than five thousand years of Chinese history. It has a profound historical and cultural impact on the world. It is worth it for people to learn and understand the Chinese language and culture.
After over twenty years working in IT career as software manager, and having worked as Chinese Heritage School teacher, Pinyin program director since 2003, and working in George Mason High School, Falls Church VA since 2006, I have decided to switch my career path from IT to educational arena in summer 2009.
Consistent use of standards, 5 Cs (communication, culture, connection, comparison, community), for lesson planning, instruction; and assessment leads to more focused ways of ensuring that all students meet or exceed the academic standards. It is very important to teach practices that reflect high expectations for student achievement of the standards, help keep students meaningfully engaged throughout the learning process; and insure students have multiple and varied opportunities to meet/exceed the standards.
I love teaching. Teaching makes me energetic and lively. There is a proverb that says “Teaching and learning promote and enhance each other”, and actually, teaching and learning are two sides of one coin; so I also believe that students should feel energetic and enjoyable during the process. As a language teacher, I believe I have the responsibility to create a pleasant and productive learning atmosphere to help students develop their own positive and enjoyable ways of learning.
Born and raised in China, I am passionate and positive in mandarin Chinese teaching in English environment with my Chinese cultural background and English professional education.
