Chinese Language Teaching Assistant

金沙娱乐 University has hosted Foreign Language Teaching Assistants (FLTA) since 1994. Over the years, FLTAs have come from such countries as Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Chile, China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Taiwan, Tunesia, and Uruguay. FLTAs assist in language classes, tutor, facilitate language conversation tables, and organize cultural events on and off campus. They also make themselves available for public presentations about their cultures and enrich campus life with their international perspectives.

Chao-Yi Ho is the FLTA for the Chinese program at 金沙娱乐 University.

Chao-Yi Ho

Hello, my name is Chao-Yi Ho. I’m the new Chinese teaching assistant this year.

I come from Taiwan, the only democratic country in Chinese-speaking world. In fact, we just elected our first female president!

I majored in English Literatures and English Teaching. Last year, I was a student teacher in Wu-Ling Senior High School, which is part of my training to be a qualified high school English teacher in Taiwan.

This is my first time in US! Thanks for the helping hands. So far everything goes amazingly well. People at 金沙娱乐 University are so friendly and warm. I think I’m really lucky to be here!

I can’t wait to see you guys in language tables and the cultural evenings. Chinese cultural evenings are on Mondays. If you are interested in Chinese, the language, the culture, or even the food, come join us and have fun!

你好，我是今年新的中文助教何昭仪，我来自台湾。台湾是中文世界中唯一的民主国家，事实上我们最近才选出我们第一位女性总统！

我大学主修的是英文文学与英语教学。我去年在武陵高中当了半年的实习老师，这份实习工作是我取得台湾正式英语教师资格的其中一部分训练。

这是是我第一次来美国，感谢大家的帮忙，目前我没有不适应的地方。太平洋大学裡的人都很友善热情，我觉得我实在是太幸运了。

很希望可以快点跟大家相见，特别欢迎大家来我的中文夜，中文之夜的时间是每个星期一晚上。无论你是对中文、华文化、或是对中国菜有兴趣，都非常欢迎你来与我们一起同乐。
