MY TEACHING METHODOLOGY
My teaching style follows a combination of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach and the audio-lingual method. Both methods emphasize immersing yourself in varying amounts of input, output, and repetition. Each lesson you will learn the language, working through a variety of grammar, comprehension, writing, and speaking exercises, followed by open-ended output to ensure you can express the language correctly on your own. I believe language and culture are inseparable, so you will learn a great deal about Chinese culture and traditions in my classes. All texts, reading materials, videos, etc., will be culturally appropriate, as language and culture shape each other.
