CATESOL24

I am Hana Wu, currently an MA TESOL student at San Francisco State University and a passionate educator with over two decades of experience in language teaching and curriculum design. My journey in TESOL began in Taiwan, where I pursued a Ph.D., taught English at various levels, and even founded a language school in 2005, driven by my commitment to creating inclusive and interactive learning environments.
My interest lies deeply in innovating TESOL pedagogical practices, particularly in curriculum development and multi-cultural teaching strategies. I recently co-developed an “Integrated Reading & Grammar Curriculum” for university-level students, a project that earned recognition at both the CATESOL 2023 State Conference and the TESOL 2024 International Convention.
I'm passionate about bridging cultural and linguistic gaps in education and am always eager to discuss the latest trends and challenges in TESOL, especially in the context of second language acquisition and the integration of technology in language learning.
If you're interested in curriculum design, the nuances of teaching multilingual learners, or simply want to exchange ideas on fostering more effective and inclusive TESOL environments, I'd love to chat with you. Also, if you're keen on discussing the intersection of academia and entrepreneurship in language education, I bring a unique perspective, having navigated both fields.
I am looking forward to insightful exchanges and collaborative opportunities at this conference.
