Biography
Mingda Sun was born and raised in a city in northeastern China, and she earned a master’s degree and a doctorate in second language teaching at the University of Alabama. She also acquired the certificate of Middle Chinese Teacher in 2012. Mingda has taught Mandarin for years, and she believes that her role as a teacher affects not only her students’ academic development but also their socio-cultural perceptions. Mingda is deeply honored to join the Earlham team devoted to establishing student-centered classrooms. Because Mandarin is spoken so widely in the world, she wishes to contribute her energy and enthusiasm to helping her students to use the language properly in diverse social and cultural settings.
