Makiko Amaya / Lecturer (part-time)
I am from Tokyo, Japan. Before coming to CSUSB, I taught Japanese to high school students in Australia, and English to junior and senior high school students in Japan. I especially think it is essential to introduce adequate learning strategies to students in order to enhance their self-learning and critical skills.
