Choua Lee

Choua Lee began teaching all levels of Hmong language and culture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in September 2007. She has also coordinated and taught intensive Hmong classes for the Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI). Besides teaching, Choua enjoys helping colleagues find ways to incorporate technology in their teaching, recently focusing on the use of A National Virtual Language Lab (ANVILL) through the University of Oregon’s Center for Applied Second Language Studies. She also commits significant effort and time to developing instructional materials for HMong that are based on the communicative approach to language teaching. She is an experienced ESL teacher for adult learners in the Madison area and serves as a HMong language translator for clinics, hospitals, mental health institutions, and other health care providers. In her spare time, Lee likes to read, sing, and practice Hmong folk songs.
