Overview

Since I started my teaching career in Higher Education back in 1999, my main objective has always been to assist students in enhancing their language proficiency, critical thinking skills, practical expertise, and overall intellectual abilities.  Alongside this, I strive to support their personal growth and development, including their future employability.

After completing my first MA degree in Literature in Xi'an (China), I relocated to Beijing in 2002. During my time as a Senior Lecturer at North China University of Technology (Beijing, China), I had the opportunity to teach both undergraduate and postgraduate students. In 2004, I pursued a second MA degree in Education in London, and subsequently spent several years teaching Chinese at various institutions in the UK.

Before joining Bangor University in 2016, I taught at Southampton University.  Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of teaching students at different levels of proficiency in the Chinese language, from beginners to intermediate and advanced levels. I have also taught modules on various aspects of Chinese Studies to undergraduate and postgraduate students, including those pursuing PhD programmes in Chinese Studies and Translation Studies.

    Appointed to the Advisory Group for the review of the Area Studies Subject Benchmark Statement on 26th January 2023: The QAA Subject Benchmark Statement for Area Studies defines what can be expected of a graduate in the subject, in terms of what they might know, do and understand at the end of their studies. Subject Benchmark Statements are an established part of the quality assurance arrangements in UK higher education, but not a regulatory requirement. They are sector-owned reference points, developed and written by academics on behalf of their subject. Subject Benchmark Statements also describe the nature and characteristics of awards in a particular subject or area. Subject Benchmark Statements are published in QAA's capacity as an expert quality body on behalf of the higher education sector.
