台日空中共同備課



Akiko, BettieGuo-jhen視訊空中共同備課:
1. 交換第一次視訊交流之心得及共同檢討問題缺失
2. 決定第二次交流主題及進行的流程
3. 共同發展學習單以利提供學生必要英語用法之鷹架
4. 再度確認二校學生交流之目標
(This article was originally posted on 李國禎的英語教學.)
Ever since Akiko and I determined to make this Skype exchange happen regardless of all the hurdles ahead of us this September, we have been doing “collaborative lesson planning” through Skype many times. Besides our passion and dedication for this project, the idea is that we need to come up with workable lesson plans, worksheets and other materials to meet the goal of effective communication between both sides.

台日英語視訊交流




The purpose of learning a language is about not only how to get good grades on written tests but how to communicate with it in an authentic context. With the help of technology, now we can create such an environment for students to apply what they’ve learned from textbooks to communicating with their Japanese counterparts without leaving the country.

The combination between English sentence pattern teaching and board games make English classes more energetic and interesting. Sherry designs a variety of English board games for students. In class, students can work in pairs or in groups with hand-made board game materials. On Oct. 20th, Sherry shared her teaching materials and useful online resources with other junior high English teachers in Taichung and showed them how to teach tag question and active/passive sentence patterns via board games. It was an inspiring and delightful afternoon for the teachers.

分組合作學習到校教學演示


(This article was originally posted on 李國禎的英語教學.)
Doing a teaching demonstration at a school located in a relatively remote area in Changhwa County, I devised some tasks targeting strategies like making predictions, wording meaning in context, making inferences and so on. All in all, the activities worked well to serve their purpose, which is to help students be a more active reader and comprehend a given text in group work.

Show and Tell and Hot Seat



Show and Tell has been one of my favorites because students get to introduce whatever they like in English, like their favorite comic books, novels and even video games. To do this right, students have to develop a draft for their oral presentation first, so writing skills are also involved. Next, during presentations, they need to pay attention in order to answer my questions about what just has been said. Thus, listening comprehension is incorporated as well. Prior to that, teacher’s demonstration is necessary because students will have a model to follow in terms of eye contact, volume, organization and so on. On top of that, I also showed my students how to use rubrics to examine each other’s performances so that they can do a better job next time.

A Tour to Morrison Academy Taichung


On behalf of the Education Bureau, Principal Syu, Daniel and I went to the Morrison Academy this afternoon to visit Mr. Myburgh, the Elementary/Middle School Principal, and discussed some future cooperation plans between both parties in cultural and English teaching exchange. After briefing him on how the English Advisory Group of Taichung City promotes English teachers’ professional development, he immediately recommended some of the teachers there based on their expertise to do teaching demonstrations, like cooperative learning, flipped classroom and so on, for our visit next time as the first step. Then, Judy kindly gave us a campus tour and introduced some teachers for us as well. As the main event organizer, I especially would like to tap into resources from this school for some potential workshops.

海外華裔青年英語服務營訪視


10天的浸潤式全英語課程是如何產生的?答案是需要學校領導層級的理念及全校行政與教師全方位的支援,包含食宿、接送、課程與教學、休閒及軟硬體等。沒有鐘點、沒有交通補助、犧牲假日及自行墊錢與自掏腰包補貼等等。問為什麼要這麼辛苦?答說因為孩子們可以受惠、可以自然的講英文。

Board Game Workshop at Houli Junior High School


I love board games. I designed some board games which I used in my class, and which my students had fun with. I also played them with other teachers from Houli Junior High School this Tuesday afternoon. I felt happy to be invited and was pleased to share the board game ideas with these friendly, active, kind, and hardworking teachers. I was glad they thought my board games were useful and practical to use in classes. Please click this ppt file link to get some ideas of what I shared that day.

In this teaching activity, students get a chance to practice using comparative and superlative structures with their classmates by playing an interesting board game. This game helps to improve students’ listening comprehension and to motivate lower level students to speak.

103學年度臺中市國中國際沙龍活動(二)

   On April 27th, Chih Shan Junior High invited college students from foreign countries to the school to share their cultures and traveling experiences with the students. Stephanie from Ireland talked about the literature, music, sports, typically Irish things (like Claddagh ring and Celtic Crosses), food, drinks and some festivals (like St. Patrick’s Day) in Ireland. Pureum and Ms. Shin from Korea introduced Korean culture in Mandarin, which impressed students a lot. After the speech, the students hope that one day they have the chance to visit Ireland and Korea in person.

Microteaching with TBL and Cooperative Learning


This is the second time that I got invited and share Cooperative Learning here. Actually, it didn't go very well last time. The participants were comprised of a variety of subject teachers, which made it difficult for most of them to understand what I was talking about because the presentation was made in English. On top of that, I lectured throughout the entire workshop.
