Our Alumni Are Changing the Field of Asian Language Pedagogy
Megumi Watanabe,
Lecturer, Princeton University
“Without the ALLEX program, I do not think that I would be in New Jersey now. I would not be teaching at Princeton. It was a life-changing experience for me.”
Yao Li, Lecturer, Wabash College
“The ALLEX program changed my life dramatically. The most obvious and direct change to my life is that I have the opportunity to work at Wabash College in Indiana teaching Chinese. ALLEX has really changed my life.”
