Here at ECE, we finished our week off with two Friday professional development experiences! First, we wanted to highlight our ECE Chinese workshop, which came together thanks to the tireless efforts of Professor Chunsheng Yang, our ECE faculty coordinator for Chinese.
Instructors convened on the UConn Storrs campus for some networking, as well as two interactive presentations facilitated by some of our very own ECE Chinese instructors! First, Amy Watt from Simsbury High School and Shiffon Theodore from Conard High School led the group in a discussion on strategies to improve L2 Chinese reading. Then, Feng Xia from Amity High School executed a presentation on engaging communicative projects in class. Finally, Yang Wang, an Associate Teaching Professor of East Asian Studies from Brown University, presented a digital story-telling project to the group.
Thank you very much to our contributors, and our instructors for joining us for a successful day! We hope to see many of you next year.
