Ya-Chuan Chou, Lecturing Fellow in the Department of Asian & Middle Eastern Studies

I’ve really enjoyed this series of Playful Pedagogy workshops. Our team members came from diverse backgrounds, and we worked together to brainstorm and design more engaging classroom activities. I especially appreciate Nan—our wonderful and passionate leader—who always brought energy and thoughtful preparation to each meeting. She inspired me to see that language teaching can be both “serious” and “fun” at the same time.

My notebook is now filled with game ideas that, with just a few small adaptations, I can easily use in my class next semester. I can’t wait to put these ideas into practice!
