Having Fun Learning about Malaysia

I invited three Malaysian postgraduates from NTCU to come to my class and share some cultural significance in English with my students, including food, tourist attractions, and traditional costumes. In Class 702, my students got to experience once again how to pick up the main idea of a talk without knowing every word, while the other students in the International Education class enjoyed a real taste of Malaysian kaya.

Teaching Gifted Students

Gifted students, by definition, are those who passed a two-phase exam of academic achievement and aptitude tests held by the Education Bureau. The three main categories of gifted students are general, language, and math and science. Based on their different certificated academic areas, special classes are conducted to further develop and fulfill their potential, according to The Special Education Act. There is no doubt that they tend to excel in every academic subject, and teaching those special students is no easy task at all.
