    Thank you for the great presentation and materials. What I am most interested in incorporating into my lessons are China's economy and foreign policy. When it comes to political systems and views, students and/or teachers can both be preoccupied with certain beliefs and perspectives and the class discussions can be difficult to achieve some sort of consensus (although a variety of opinions are always appreciated, some consensus can serve as a strong foundation for the class to keep going). Since China's role in the world economy is emerging these days, I feel students will have a great interest getting started from economic and foreign policies.

    Hello everyone! My name is Danhui Dong. I am so excited to join this online class to learn how I can better teach China/Asia to my students! I am currently teaching Mandarin at Channel View School for Research located in Rockaway Beach, New York. I am the first Mandarin teacher at the school and our school started the program last year. At the same time, I am also an ENL teacher at the school, providing language support to a small population of English language learners.
    I believe it is very important to provide curriculums designed for the topic of China/Asia, because students need to have intercultural competence. That's why I am looking forward to sharing and learning the resources in this class to teach better!
