My Compelling Question
How do I motivate and engage Chinese ESL students in independent reading?
Overview
About Me
I was a ELA teacher in a Chinese private school--Beijing Royal School--before I came to NCSU to pursue my master's degree in the New Literacy and Global Learning Program. The area I was focusing in Beijing Royal School is reading. I taught general reading comprehension, TOEFL reading preparation and SAT reading preparation. Therefore, while I am studying here, most of my courses are related to reading. I learned a lot of the pedagogical theories, teaching strategies and many applicable classroom activities to motivate and engage students in reading, both informational text and literature reading. I am very excited and looking forward to the future teaching in Beijing Royal School after I go back to China.
