My teaching philosophy is grounded in a student-centric approach, prioritizing an engaging and inclusive learning environment that fosters active participation and critical thinking. I am dedicated to creating a supportive atmosphere where students feel empowered to explore and express their ideas. I teach courses in Communication Research Methods, Communication Theories, and Asian Media and Communication. In these subjects, I strive to blend theoretical knowledge with practical application, ensuring that students not only understand the concepts but also learn how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
By incorporating diverse teaching methods, such as interactive discussions, collaborative projects, and case studies, I aim to cater to different learning styles and promote a deeper understanding of the material. My goal is to inspire students to become independent thinkers and effective communicators, equipped with the skills necessary to succeed in their future careers.
