Creating an
authentic environment for my students to speak the language and get to
experience cultural exchanges are always the main ideas throughout this course
of International Education. Toshi, a Japanese English teacher who is also a
Global English alumni of the UO AEI, came to visit me during his trip to Taiwan
this February. We toured places including 刑務演武場, 光明國中, 逢甲夜市 and 東豐自行車道. It was such a pleasant experience for me
to introduce the beauty of Taichung to Toshi in English, and I also gained new
perspectives from his points of view. What if I could duplicate what I learned
and extend Toshi's visit to benefit my students by getting them to make oral
presentations about the same tourist attractions?
