Lesson Plan: Reading Comprehension with TBL

International Video Conferencing: School Campus and Korean Food

For the last activity for the International Cultural Exchange this semester, we had a Skype session with a middle school in Seoul. Taiwanese students’ topic was to introduce the school campus, and their counterparts talked about Korean food. After these presentations, we asked each other some follow-up questions, complete with two songs in our first languages.

Thank You & Goodbye

Topping off Jessica's three visits with big hugs, milkshake, and of course, fun English learning activities

A Canadian AIESEC Volunteer's Visit: Part 2

It's been over two weeks since the Canadian AIESEC volunteer's first visit to my school, getting three classes of students experiencing what it was like to talk to an English native speaker. Jessica had been surrounded by my colleagues' students during recess, and obviously, they plucked up the courage to approach and chat with her with their beginner-level English.

International Education Exchange at Daegu, Korea

On behalf of the Education Bureau of Taichung City, the English Advisory Team laid the foundation for a constructive cooperation for both cities' English education. With four school visits and the city tour, we had fruitful communication and interaction with not only the staff of the schools but some officials of the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education.

Thanks to Youngshin High School's vice principal and three teachers' great hospitality, we've got fond memories of Daegu throughout our entire stay there. On top of that, I believed that an even greater bond of friendship had been forged with this exchange. All the members of the delegation would wholeheartedly hope that we can return the favor back when they visit us in Taichung.  

VR English Campus Guided Tour

Turning an activity into the curriculum that can benefit more students with a variety of tasks

Virtual Reality is intriguing because it helps provide a more immersive experience as if you were actually being there. By taking panoramic pictures with Google's Street View, complete with writing a script about the campus and recording the English guide in the form of .mp3, we then upload those files to the online platform, 720yun. The website has many powerful features. It can combine a picture with texts, audio, icons, to name just a few.

A Canadian AIESEC Volunteer's Visit

This afternoon, lots of students got to experience what it was like to use English and talk with a native speaker, the Canadian AIESEC volunteer, Jessica. During recess, Jessica was even surrounded by many who were really shy but summoned their courage to practice very basic English or ask for a picture with her. Two of my colleagues liked the idea of inviting her over again for their students. I myself have always enjoyed cross-cultural communication in English so much, not to mention seizing the chance to practice as much as I can by showing her around the Martial Art Compound and the Yizhong Street after school.
