Sometimes the most amazing adventures happen right in our own backyard. And for us here at KMJH, that adventure has been unfolding right next door, quite literally, at the National Comics Museum in Taichung. But the most exciting part? We recently had the chance to see our incredible ICE (International Cultural Exchange) students in action, leading a fantastic tour for students from Thailand! How cool is that?

Whether you like it or not, the era of AI has arrived and is reshaping the landscape of English teaching. Educators who have already mastered lesson planning are becoming more effective and efficient with the help of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as one-stop AI platforms such as Tweek and Magic School AI. At the request of Prof. Miyuki from the English Department at NKNU, I had the honor of sharing my learning journey with aspiring teachers through this series of presentations. My goal is to facilitate the use of AI in lesson planning for authentic teaching scenarios.

KMJH ICE and Ninomiya Nishi Junior High School are scheduled for seven video call sessions, during which ALL students at Nishi will participate in breakout room conversations to share their hobbies and discuss school life.
What is this sister school partnership leading both schools to? It’s a journey of mutual learning, with each educational trip becoming distinct and better than the last. This year’s exchange features a welcome ceremony, class participation, two-night homestays, and local experiences like enjoying Taichung’s sun cakes and ice cream.
