BMCC Spotlight:
Vincent Tzu-Wen
Cheng
Vincent Tzu-Wen
Cheng spoke no
English when he
arrived in New
York from Taiwan
in 1996. Today,
he acknowledges
the irony of
“teaching
American
students in an
American
educational
institution how
to communicate
in English.” But
few people would
seem better
suited to the
job.
Cheng, an
instructor in
the Department
of Speech,
Communications,
& Theatre Arts,
teaches
Fundamentals of
Speech, a
required course
that helps
students develop
public and
interpersonal
communication
skills. Students
learn how to
generate speech
topics, conduct
research,
organize their
ideas, and
master the
elements of
audience
psychology and
impression
management. They
also learn that
speech education
yields benefits
far greater than
might have
thought.
