"June 17 - July 5, 2013 University of Virginia STARTALK Chinese Teacher Program, Dr. Tseng!

The right time, the right place, and the right teacher! I am so lucky to be one of the 14 students who wants to learn more to be a better teacher! Thanks to Dr. Tseng, Ms. Zhong and Hsu, Dr. Wu, Ida, Regan and Jimmy, who have dedicated so much time and effort making this great program successfully!
