À propos de cet audio
In Part 2 of our thought provoking conversation, #OldAsianLady welcomes back Karen Chung—retired professor at National Taiwan University (NTU), linguist, polyglot, and developer of EarBug. After 30+ years in Taiwan’s top academic institution, Karen reflects on her legacy, the gaps in English Language education, and the Echo Method she believes can fix Taiwan’s listening and pronunciation struggles.
Karen shares:
- Insights into cross-linguistic learning from Chinese to English
- Her legacy at NTU and the importance of deep listening in life and communication
- The creation of her app Earbug, a phonetic training tool based on years of teaching experience
- Why pronunciation matters for connection, comprehension, and confidence
- Her views on Taiwan’s Bilingual 2030 policy & systemic gaps in English education
From policy critique to practical advice, Karen's words are a masterclass in mindful language use and the power of human connection through sound.
