The Education
Bureau held this major event of curriculum development to help better equip
teachers for the new challenges brought by the 2019 national curriculum
guidelines this Christmas weekend. Many accomplished lecturers shared their
teaching innovations at various workshops. Hundreds of participants actually
attended dozens of different workshops of their own choice.
It was my honor to
get invited and share at two of them. One was about how I conducted a
disciplinary collaboration and did a teaching demonstration for the Principal
Instructional Leadership Symposium. The other was for me to share a variety of
hands-on activities in terms of making English speaking videos with
Screencastify and OBS, strategies for improving students' reading comprehension
with Task-Based Learning, and how to get students to introduce any tourist
spots of their choice in English.
I was really
amazed by all the teachers who were willing to attend the workshops today. They
were not told to come by request of any authorities. They chose to learn for
the good of their students this Christmas weekend. For that, I honestly admire
their passion and dedication to a better education here in Taiwan and hope each
of the participants brought something good back home today.
Some of the
participants and I have been Facebook friends for quite a while. I got to
finally meet them in person today. Also, for those who are particularly
interested in International Education, we exchanged some ideas of conducting
Skype sessions with partners outside of Taiwan and inviting AIESEC volunteers
to interact with the students.
The head of the
Education Bureau walked in the workshop and stayed for about 10 minutes during
my presentation. I seized this opportunity to show off my passion for English
and recapped the main points of my sharing in the language. Also, the principal
of my school attended the two workshops and listened throughout the whole
sessions.
