Educational Background

BFScrMePr. MEd (TESOL) EdD 

Biography

At Wenzhou-Kean University, my role as a Faculty Lecturer leverages over four years of dedicated experience in language education, where I specialize in applying innovative pedagogical methods to teach World Englishes and Globalization. The synergy of linguistic proficiency in Mandarin, Cantonese, and problem-solving skills has enabled me to contribute significantly to the development of English for Academic Purposes programs. 
 
My tenure as a Communication Tutor at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology complements my lecturing position, where I employ my language skills and academic insights to enhance students' communicative competence. The mission to foster an inclusive and dynamic learning environment drives my professional endeavors, and my expertise in utilizing digital video for language instruction underscores my commitment to advancing the field of linguistic education.
