@kevinwongLA Noel used to say McDonald “old-McDonald” super cute and didn’t want to ever correct it.. 😂

Language development nerd here. So 3yo thinks the verb “forgot” is “i-forgot” because she’s heard us say “Oh no, I forgot to…”. So now she says, “Baba, you i-forgot to …” or “The teacher i-forgot to…” 🥰 #PhDad

Thank you to Dr. Jennifer Mikaye-Trapp and the team of professors, doctoral, and master's degree students from @pepperdine who are enriching @MarshallEagles1 6th grade students with the World Language of Mandarin. @bmcdonald6 @Hchanhill @AudreyDeniseGr2 @PasadenaUnified

My new article on digital technologies and some thoughts on increasing English speaking practices, by TESOL Connections - December 2022. Welcome to read! :) newsmanager.commpartners.com/tesolc/issues/…

@kevinwongLA @TeachFiercely Aww you are too kind Kevin! Thank you!!

4) To work with dear friends and co-conspirators, @weinalichen and @TeachFiercely, who y’all should follow if you don’t already. Here we go!!!

I’m grateful for this grant for 4 reasons: 1) to (re)imagine a mutually beneficial model that supports Chinese oral language & intercultural competence among Chinese learners, 2) to provide Pepperdine teacher candidates w/ teaching experiences in a structured & safe environment,

Who is going?🤚 #tesol2023 @TESOLConv

@kevinwongLA "That is IMPOSSIBLE!!" with a "you-are-crazy-to-even-think-about-that" face, when I told the teacher I wanted to improve my IELTS from 6 to 6.5 in 2 months so I could go to grad school in England. I cried after I left her office and told myself that I would prove her wrong.

I’m Kevin and my writing is incoherent. (Highschool English) Now a professor with numerous publications… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anyone have resources/articles on helping doctoral students craft an argument (for a dissertation), guide readers through the logic of that argument (slowing down!), and substantiating with citations along the way? @AcademicChatter

Hey I’m all about fusion (my whole life is fusion) but idk how I feel about these XLBs…

@drcheard Hmmm does the auto completion use algorithm of your own writing habit?

Would a sentence made up entirely of Google Docs autocomplete suggestions be plagiarized?

@kevinwongLA You totally deserve this!!

Still in shock/disbelief that I was asked to give a plenary talk next March, all expenses paid, IN SINGAPORE. This has literally been me ALL day 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽#impostersyndrome #somanythoughts #perhapstoohonest

@kevinwongLA It’s soooo sad that Leon doesn’t take pacifier… 😭😭

Whoever invented the pacifier literally deserves the Nobel Peace prize.

@kevinwongLA Haha that’s my favorite song!

I highly encourage you to share about our MA in TESOL program at Pepperdine with friends and family who you just know would make an excellent English teacher somewhere around the world. The applications are still open for domestic students! Scholarship up to $10K is available!
