The entire exchange program was sponsored by U.S. Department of State, implemented by FHI 360, with local programming by San Diego Diplomacy Council. There were 21 participants in total from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines. The hosts gave us a brief overview of the program and logistics. As a border city with a considerable population of immigrants, we would be mainly focusing on bilingual education and school visits. Then, for our professional development programs, there would be topics related to Content-Based Instruction, Teaching English in English, Dual Immersion, etc.

Teaching English Through English Made Easy: Fun with Imperatives

To use English as the medium of instruction, a non-native English teacher has to conduct his or her classes in English, creating tremendous pressure and even disbelief about this government-initiated policy.

To provide a crash course and plug-and-play resources, I have crafted engaging activity ideas, appealing visual aids, word-for-word activity instruction scripts, and demo videos for teachers in both big cities and rural areas to change their mindset and start giving it a try with their students. I aim to lead by example and demonstrate to local English teachers that teaching English through English is absolutely feasible.
