Biography
"In all her teaching, She strongly believe what Diane Larsen Freeman said: "It is not our responsibility to ENTERTAIN our students but it is our responsibility to ENGAGE our students." No matter which type of TESOL classes I teach, She consistently consider students as active learning-constructors—constructing language teaching knowledge, skills, and critical thinking ability together with teachers and peers."
