Ying Huang serves as a Lecturer in the Department of East Asian Studies within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta, specializing in Japanese language instruction across multiple undergraduate levels. Her teaching portfolio includes foundational courses like JAPAN 101 (Basic Japanese I) and JAPAN 102 (Basic Japanese II), intermediate coursework such as JAPAN 301 (Intermediate Japanese I), and advanced offerings including JAPAN 202 (Basic Japanese IV).
Her research profile centers on Japanese language acquisition and pedagogy, with emphasis on developing integrated listening, speaking, reading, and writing competencies for non-native learners. This work intersects with broader fields of second language acquisition theory and East Asian linguistic studies, particularly focused on curriculum design for beginners through intermediate students. Her instructional approach addresses barriers for learners without prior Japanese exposure while building pathways to advanced proficiency.
Administratively, she maintains active teaching responsibilities through scheduled courses for Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 terms, demonstrating ongoing engagement with the university's language education mission. Her role directly supports the Department of East Asian Studies' mandate to cultivate cross-cultural communication skills in undergraduate programs.
