Peer Chinese teachers as facilitators
Sun Laoshi in CHN 402: Y Laoshi in CHN 102:
At the start of class, the ability to ask her any question was a nice icebreaker.
She gave everyone an equal opportunity and was available for questions/concerns.

CHN 102 students feedback
She was very energetic and had us speak a lot and interact with others. The game
and story were fun as well.
I loved the fact that she gave instructions out in English along with a Chinese
because it made it a lot easier for me to understand what was going on in class.
Spend a little more time explaining the grammar behind the last activity
