I am a lecturer in the Center of Language Education at HKUST. I obtained my BA in Chinese Language and Literature, MA in Teaching Chinese as Second Language and PhD in Chinese Linguistics. To be an effective teacher, I strongly believe that one must focus on student learning, teach according to what the student is good at and inspire student’s creativity and desire to learn.
