Teaching & Supervision

I am a researcher and a passionate language instructor and supervisor. I am an accredited university lecturer in China. After getting my first MA degree in Japanese studies, I was appointed as a full-time Japanese lecturer at the Hefei University, where I taught BA-level Japanese courses and supervised 15 BA final projects (theses). At the same time, I offered language training services to the Hefei Youxiangxue Lanaugage Institution in Japanese and Spanish (adult second learners). After moving to Spain, I taught Chinese to Chinese children (8-12 years old) born in Spain (heritage language learners). I have given lectures at the University of Oslo on multilingualism and psycholinguistics.
