MANDARIN LANGUAGE PROGRAM CONSULTING
Improving Your Institution’s Mandarin Program
I have made marked improvements with Confucius Institute Mandarin programs and can do the same for your program. I will give your Mandarin professors the insight and tools they need to more effectively teach students within your Confucius Institute. After an initial consultation, we’ll determine whether one-on-one training, workshops or a combination of both would be most beneficial to your program. I am confident your faculty will find me to be empathetic, patient and eager to provide professional development opportunities. In addition to improved job satisfaction for professors, you will see growth and greater student success within your Confucius Institute Mandarin programs. If your intention is to build a Mandarin program, I can be an asset to the process. I have taken part in numerous national faculty recruiting efforts from conducting searches to participating in hiring committees. I know what it takes to be an effective foreign language professor which is integral in making your world language programs thrive.
