I am honored to earn the California State Outstanding Student Teacher, awarded by Delta Kappa Gamma Society, 2012, and Certification of Recognition presented by California State Senator, 2014, and 2015. I have been attending various professional workshops and trainings.  One of the most influential workshops was Dr. Krashen’s Comprehensible Input because it shaped my teaching philosophy: language acquisition requires relaxed, meaningful, and understandable interactive communication.
