Microteaching: Demonstrating how tasks can help integrate language skills



Again, the objective is to get the teachers busy walking, talking, looking for information and doing a little presentation.

Using English to Teach English



When I have to introduce myself, I would usually say that I’m a crazy English learner. Indeed, I seldom allow my mind to go wander. When doing household chores, running on a treadmill or even taking a dump on the toilet, I must be listening to some English. On top of that, I’ll always have an English magazine with me, picking up useful expressions anytime and anywhere. Getting a lot of input intensively and extensively is how I maintain my level of English proficiency.

Prosperity Through Education and Love

Education is a valuable cornerstone for a city on its way to excellence. Love is the eternal star that marks education.
Because of love, we and our children have happy dreams. Because of Love, we encourage our children to harbor the determination to innovate and fully fulfill their potential to achieve self realization. The love for education, in my belief, is the most beautiful footnote for Taichung, a sunshine city filled with hope and energy.
