Profile:
After
participating in voluntary teaching work in a primary school in Zhongshan
during summer vacation of the second year of study in GDUFS, Sharon found
herself having great interest in teaching English as she performed so well in
the voluntary work and earned students' trust and love. At that time, she made
up her mind to become an English teacher with excellent English proficiency.
With this idea in mind, while studying at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, she
selected an educational course called Teaching Chinese Grammar to Non-native
Speakers where she learned some language teaching methodologies. After that,
she taught Chinese in Hong Kong in a Chinese educational centre called Little
Beijing Putonghua Education Centre in which she applied everything she had learned
and gained recognition and respect from students of various ages and their
parents. In order to explore more concerning TESOL methodologies, she also took
the Teaching Knowledge Test of Cambridge: Practical Preparation Programme in
Macao in July, 2015 and later obtained a TKT Practical certificate.
Her current research interests mainly focus on language assessment,
motivation and language learning.
