Short curriculum vitae

I studied English and American studies at Chemnitz University of Technology from 2019 to 2021 with a specialization in TESOL and Cultural studies. In my Master thesis, I examined in how far intercultural communicative competence has been developed in English textbooks for public junior schools in China.

In addition to my mother tongue, I also speak English, German, and Japanese. My linguistic ability has equipped me with an insider’s perspective on Western and Eastern society. Under the supervision of Jun.-Prof. Dr. Jennifer Schluer, my PhD project aims to help Germans and Chinese to overcome cultural barriers in intercultural communication.
