Title:
Wolf Tales Recording with Guan Yun Chen: FLE400, 23 October 2018
Description:
This recording was conducted as part of FLE 400: American English pronunciation for International Students with Professor Mary Michaels Estrada in October 2018, in the D.H. Hill Jr. Library. A graduate student in Industrial Design, Chen came from Taiwan to study how the human body can inform design, something that the program at N.C. State emphasizes. At first, Chen says that his difficulty understanding other students and professors was upsetting, and it has continued to be a challenge to him in class and group projects, but he has found friends who have encouraged him to speak and raised his confidence. While it is more difficult for him to access Raleigh, Chen finds the energy on campus and the spirit for school very exciting. The diversity of N.C. State, and American schools in general, allows for new friends with many different perspectives, and having the opportunity to meet these people is something Guan values about the school.
