Han-Jhen Wang
Adjunct Faculty
Chinese: Currently, Han-Jhen Wang serves as a teaching assistant for Mandarin Chinese courses and leads the Language Corner as a Fulbright grantee. Her research focuses on language teaching, particularly bilingual education in Taiwan and effective English language instruction for primary school students. With a strong academic background and practical experience, she specializes in developing innovative teaching methodologies tailored to young learners' linguistic and cognitive needs. She is also interested in Mandarin Chinese as a second language, exploring its integration into bilingual and multilingual educational settings. Her work emphasizes the importance of culturally responsive pedagogy, aiming to enhance language learning outcomes while fostering cross-linguistic and cultural understanding. Her future research endeavors aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice in language education, contributing to teacher training, evidence-based practices, and the broader implementation of bilingual education in diverse contexts.
