Teaching Statement
     I believe that good teaching involves knowing the subject, the students, and oneself.
Teachers are facilitators who possess the power to create conditions for students to
learn. Being a language teacher, I strive to help students become active learners who
do not wait for learning to happen but make it happen.  My teaching goals are to activate
students’ previous experience and to make connections between what they are learning
and the real-world experience; to motivate students’ interests in the learning process; to
establish meaningful purposes for students to engage in learning.  As a result, students
develop
their confidence and passion to learn a foreign language and continue their life-
long
learning beyond the classroom.
