Chin-Huang Feng, deputy of education for the Taipei city government, who headed the delegation, summarized Princeton's approach in terms of three “P's”: personalized education; passionate learning; and professionalism of faculty and staff.
The event also gave Princeton students and staff a chance to show off their skills. “The visit provided a great opportunity for me to demonstrate strategies for teaching Mandarin in the American class,” said Shwu-Fen Lin, a Chinese language teacher at Princeton High School. “My students also had the chance to use the Mandarin they had learned and apply it to real life.” |
