From this semester, there is English conversation for all teachers. Every Friday teacher Jeanette has an English Conversation Class with a small group of teachers. During this class they discuss different topics and the focus is on improving their English-speaking ability.
For INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION topics like Sport, Buildings, Traveling & Food are covered during this semester. We would like to introduce and improve the students’ knowledge regarding the food people eat in other countries, as well as interesting customs. For example, in Spain people eat two breakfasts and they eat their dinner between 21:00 – 24:00 at night! The main aim why we chose the topic Traveling is to expose students to other countries, their culture and, most importantly, make them realize there is ANOTHER WORLD beyond Taiwan. The topic on Buildings enables students to learn about different iconic buildings from around the world, along with the significance of each building. For example, the king of India instructed people to build the TAJ MAHAL, so he could bury his wife in this amazing building.
The teachers also enable students to complete assignments with interactive technology equipment, such as iPads and “Touch Screen Monitors.” Students find it far more interesting and understand the content much better through smart technology.
From November 2019, there are three foreign teachers, Tony, Kwanda and Jeanette, responsible for teaching Grade 1 to Grade 6 classes. For the past few weeks, we have been trying to get everything back to normal. But as you know, many activities had to be cancelled or made some adjustments because of COVID-19. The foreign teachers would like to urge all the families of our students to be patient and cautious. We hope that your family will be kept safe. And, the nightmare everyone is facing, will soon be over!
