What do I believe in ESL teaching...
Like it or not, English has become the lingua franca of our global village. No matter what our native language is, we always choose English to communicate with friends from different countries. In that sense, I believe ESL teaching should be focused on developing learners' communicative competence. One doesn't have to be prefect on grammar or pronunciation to enjoy talking with people in English. Also, I believe ESL courses should be student-centered. The role of?teacher is to help students learn what they want to learn and how they can learn. They should be the star in the ESL classroom.

Where do my strengths come from...

What do I do for fun...
