"After three weeks of intensive training, I have learned advanced Chinese teaching approaches from Dr.Tseng and have discovered how to apply them to real classroom teaching through practicum... I consider the Startalk program not only an opportunity to explore the newest instructional strategies for Chinese teaching, but also a milestone for myself to make changes in the future from my prior teaching styles into more efficient, research based tactics."

"I learned a lot from other teachers during collaboration. We helped each other to be better teachers, and through the process, we became closer and learned to work as a team!"

"After three weeks of teaching practicum, I realized just how many things I have learned from Dr. Tseng and the other participants of this program. In addition, I could really make use of all what I’ve learned from this program and modified what I’ve done in my class before. The learning results were very good... I will recommend this program to all of my friends in the future."

"This is the first time I have attended a Startalk Program, and I am so happy to be part of this great team... VSCTA not only helped me to understand the theories of second language acquisition, but through practicum I was able to apply the theories to real-world teaching and identify the blind spots in my teaching. I can’t thank enough all the wonderful teachers here who showed great enthusiasm in Chinese teaching and provided tremendous support to make me a better teacher."
