Probably my youthful energy and enthusiasm got me through the hot, humid Evanston summer. As a new graduate student in Asian Languages at Stanford University, I was skeptical when my professor told me that “once I stepped into the classroom I would know what to do.” So I was recommended to a summer position teaching one period of Japanese and one of Mandarin Chinese. My first teaching assignment was Evanston Township High School summer school in Evanston, Illinois. I have also taught English as a Second Language (ESL). My experiences in second-language acquisition as a teacher have been restricted to the “Less Commonly Taught” Japanese and Mandarin Chinese, but the suggestions should be equally applicable to all languages. In this collection of ideas formulated since I first began teaching many years ago, I have attempted to share important things for a successful teaching career in world languages.
