"2014 UVa StarTalk Chinese Teacher Academy was a blessing for me and many other Chinese language educators. It was a blessing because we had great teachers and program coordinators; it was a blessing because we learned and tested language teaching theories on multiple occasions with different groups of students; it was a blessing because every one of us was highly professional and willing to share and help each other to become a better teacher.!"

"If you want to interpret STARTALK from paper to practice, just like me, then congratulations! You have located the right destination! You will be fully equipped with thorough theories plus the skills of teaching Chinese in 100% target language, while following the STARTALK principles. It is a miracle produced by a great team of love, care, passion and dedication, within a mere 17 days of time! I witnessed the whole process of a pretty butterfly flying out its cocoon!"

"June 16 to July 4, I have participated in STARTALK Chinese Teacher Academy ran by University of Virginia, and I was so lucky to get the chance to be trained in this program! It was three very intensive weeks, but the best three weeks of professional development! I have learned so much from Dr. Tseng, especially how to use the communicative instructional strategies in the class and use 100% target language to teach. And the most important thing is, we had three teaching practicums after learning all these theories.
