Chin Yew KIEU

I am a language educator with more than 15 years’ experience in the field. I have taught Mandarin and a few other content subjects while leading as instructional leaders in mainstream secondary classrooms in Singapore. Currently, I am involved in curriculum, policy planning and research surrounding language education.I believe in driving practices in language teaching and learning based on sound principles informed by research. I also believe that anyone working or interested in language education could benefit from deeper understanding of the interdisciplinary issues surrounding language education.
