Teaching Award

Here's my English/Chinese interview upon receiving a teaching award for 2013. My organization, Ameson Education & Cultural Exchange Foundation, which places English teachers in Chinese schools, recognized my efforts last year, and honored me with an Ameson Advanced Educator award. This interview was given as part of the company's Outstanding Teacher Series. Originally only available in Chinese, I have uploaded the English translation of the interview to Scribd, which you can read at the link below.

I'm grateful to the organization for the award, and pleased about the interview. I've a wonderful group of students here, who make teaching a real joy for me, and I consider myself lucky to be able to do what I love for work!

Well, this is kind of cool~I just got invited for an interview on a radio talk show during my visit to the U.S. next week.  I'll be talking about my time here in China, and about my chapbook, The Breakdown Atlas & other poems.  The interview will be on a blog radio show called Forbidden America, hosted by Steve McManus.  It's a half hour format, with no commercial breaks, carried on Blog Talk Radio, Shoutcast Radio, iTunes, Smartphone Net, and others.  It'll be airing live on Saturday, July 16, at 11:00 p.m., and immediately archived and available for listening.  I'll post the interview once it airs, but in the meantime, here's a link to the site~check out the wide and funky range of interviews (I love the pagan-themed ones), if you're interested:
