This report reflects on the author's overseas teaching experience at Brooklyn College, City University of New York. Through direct engagement in Mandarin instruction, the author observed students' learning challenges in areas such as tones, pronunciation, and Chinese character writing. By incorporating pronunciation drills, task-based classroom activities, and individualized support during office hours, students gradually developed greater confidence and proficiency in Mandarin. The course design was informed by the Learning Pyramid theory, emphasizing discussion, hands-on practice, and role-playing activities to enhance language internalization and practical use. In addition to classroom teaching, the author participated in a study tour program, serving not only as an instructor but also as a facilitator of daily life and a cultural mediator. Through immersive experiences in Taiwan, students strengthened their communicative skills while gaining deeper insights into Taiwanese culture and social practices. Overall, this overseas teaching experience contributed to students' language development and intercultural understanding, while also reinforcing the author's professional commitment to Mandarin education and cross-cultural exchange. |
