My major in college was Chinese Literature and I received my M.A. degree in curriculum & instruction granted by Concordia University. I currently teach Chinese 1, 2, 3, AP and IBSL at Valencia High School.

3. CHINESE 4 /AP/IB Course Description AP Chinese/Chinese IB SL course reinforces and refines the skills learned during the previous years of Chinese study and uses the new input in the textbook and supplementary materials to further develop students’ speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. The course is conducted in almost exclusively Mandarin Chinese and the students are required to speak in Chinese as much as possible. The AP/IB SL course is designed to provide high school students with the opportunity to study Chinese language thoroughly enough to perform successfully on AP Test/ IB SL Exam, enabling them to earn college credit.
