Facilitator and Trainer:

Stephen L. Tschudi recently retired from the University of Hawai‘i, where he served on the faculty for 30 years. Prior to his role as Specialist in Technology for Language Education at the Center for Language & Technology (CLT), he taught Chinese language at UH. Earlier still, he worked as a translator and editor for the Chinese Literature Press in Beijing. He is a past recipient of an Excellence in Teaching Award from the Hawaiʻi Association of Language Teachers (HALT), past board member of the Chinese Language Teachers Association, and published textbook author.

Stephen has designed and delivered teacher development courses and workshops focusing on various aspects of online teaching and learning. He has also designed numerous online courses in Chinese language, some of them designed for non native-speaking teachers of Chinese to maintain and sharpen their language skills. Recently, Stephen has made significant contributions to two national programs, particularly in relation to intercultural communication and project-based language learning: the National Foreign Language Resource Center, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, and the Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Prior to coming to UW-Madison, Erlin Barnard worked both at the University of Hawaii-Manoa and the National University of Singapore in language instruction, program administration and teacher training. She is the Pedagogy Coordinator for Less Commonly Taught Languages at UW-Madison. She supervises instructors of the less commonly taught languages and oversees their pedagogy development. She has conducted workshops on foreign language pedagogy and materials development for various institutions in the U.S, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Netherlands, and Singapore. She has also participated in a number of program and curriculum reviews, and materials development projects for languages of Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Her work in professionalizing instruction in less commonly taught languages, closely linked to the priorities set by the US Department of Education, has helped raise the national profile of UW-Madison. In 2012, she was honored with The Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Service.
