I currently JPN 201~203 (2nd-year Japanese), JPN 199 (Special Placement), and JPN 199 (Getting along in Japanese). In the past, I have taught JPN 414~416 (4th-year Reading & Writing) and JPN 434~435 (5th-year Reading & Writing).

My teaching philosophy:

*Create an enjoyable learning environment.

*Teach the strategies to develop accuracy.

*Create an authentic context and encourage students to express their own opinions.

*Provide immediate feedback to students to develop their accuracy on usage and pronunciation.

*Students carry out a variety of functional tasks in four areas during class. Cultural-awareness should also be embedded.

*Students learn how to stand on their own feet when they face difficulty in interactions with people and in reading & writing.
