ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO

I began my voyage of learning on UCLA Extension's TESOL program in 2020. This is my final assignment of the program. The portfolio integrates prior learning, assignments, lesson plans and observations from the TESOL courses and provides students the opportunity to reflect and refine their teaching practices. Participants compile a professional, digital portfolio that captures and highlights their best work from each course. The portfolio also includes the development of professional goals and a comprehensive teaching philosophy.

MY TEACHING GOALS

To effectively learn English in a non English-speaking region like Hong Kong, apart from a firm grip in relevant linguistic structures, students should also understand the culture and logic in association with the language. Therefore, unlike conventional teaching methods that focus on the accuracy and fluency of the target language, I also teach students how to think, use, and behave in an English way.
