「只有直播 ,沒有距離」: 2018 09 18 領召會議 臺中市國中英語輔導團 首開 全程直播會議

2018 09 18 領召會議 臺中市國中英語輔導團紀錄 :


        今年開始直播臺中市國中英語輔導團領召會議,遠在梨山的梨山國中小不用花8或9小時下山到台中市開會了,跟廠商還有召集學校資訊組花了一段時間,整合英語領召學校沙鹿國中該校的設備完成了當初對梨山國中小師生的承諾,感謝沙鹿國中各主任處室及資訊組長還有設備組長的協助。

        我們都還記得去年底上山之後對梨山國中小的承諾,也記得上山的時候,梨山國中小對我們的熱情招待,不過直播需要有太多要配合的地方,輔導團執行任務的輔導員跟校長們,不在沙鹿國中而分別在不同的學校,需要運用在校外跟輔導團以外的時間處理相關軟硬體的問題,所以很多問題花了很長的一段時間解決,不過我們一直都記得這件事情,希望這次可以解決每次梨山國中小要派人下山,參加英文輔導團相關會議跟研習的困難!

        相關的直播影片的錄影在文章後半段!

[2-2-2] Skype Exchange, Picture Book and Mind Mapping, and Board Game




I hadn't been a homeroom teacher for three years when I took on the position as full-time advisor of the English Advisory Group, and I found this job was quite demanding but also rewarding. I tried some interesting activities in this class that I used to think they were only for more advanced learners. However, my NORMAL students have already proved they can be as motivated and willing to learn to USE English as their gifted counterparts.


1. Skype Exchange with A Japanese English teacher

[1-1-4] Taking My English Speaking Skills to the Next Level



Ever since I decided to leave my previous position as full-time advisor of the English Advisory Group and go back to KMJH to be a homeroom teacher again, I've turned down many offers to share my English teaching at workshops because I can't just take official leave that often as I used to. However, as soon as I got the invitation to do "Teaching English in a Big Class with Mixed Abilities" with native-speaking English teachers, I immediately said yes because I got to speak lots of English.


Not to my surprise at all, only two of the NETs attended the workshop, and I felt quite relaxed as if having a casual chat in English. Based on their feedback, I think I did quite well in terms of showcasing a variety of teaching activities aiming at getting my students to use the language in a meaningful context, mainly including reading strategy activities, Skype exchange projects and English camps. Lesson plans, reflection, pictures and videos in my blog were shown during my presentation, leaving a strong impression that I've been a teacher who loves to try out new ideas in my own class.

[1-2-3] Skype Exchange Session 2: Introducing the history and features of KMJH





With this second Skype exchange with Toshi’s students, we experienced using English to introduce KMJH and Taichung, complete with a section of Readers Theater performance and the viral PPAP from Japan. Also, thanks to their counterparts’ hard work, we also got to know some fun facts about Japanese sports day, school festivals and clubs.


My students brainstormed some interesting topics to present, including Kuang Ming’s brief history, stories of the cornerstone (奠基石) and the Land Temple (土地公廟), lunch menu and lunch break, and even Principal Hu’s motto. They created mind maps to better materialize what they wanted to present. Furthermore, they also came up with relevant key vocab and expressions that were in line with their assigned topics and then completed their scripts and PPT slides.

[2-1-4] Skype Exchange Session 1: Self-introduction and Talent Show



We made it!
The purpose of session 1 is to help my students and their Japanese counterparts from Tokyo Metropolitan Tama High School of Science and Technology get to know each other and also prepare for the following group presentation sessions about some shared issues. Collaborative lesson planning is instrumental in making it happen, so I've closely with my partners, Toshi and Rhi, developed lesson plans, worksheets, and a checklist. Prior to this session, we went over some details of equipment and step-by-step procedures.

Well, It’s quite demanding but definitely rewarding as well when seeing my students speaking and listening to a lot of English attentively. On top of that, two classrooms were virtually connected, with students from both sides so engaged throughout the whole session. My partner also told me that four other colleges of his came to participate and said many good things about the session. What a pleasant surprise!


Reflection
1. Turning the webcam of mine towards my students so that they could see each other was definitely a right thing to do, for it suddenly became so much more interactive.

[1-1-4] 105年度臺中市國教輔導團「勤耕」投稿: TESOL at QUT


TESOL at Queensland University of Technology:
The Program and School Visits

Introduction

A Dream Came True
When I became a husband and a father of two, I started to think that studying abroad would be just a dream. I never wanted to be an irresponsible man who could abandon his family and leave his job in order to satisfy his personal desire. Things have changed when I learned that the Ministry of Education was going to subsidize English teachers to study in Australia for five weeks. I felt the door to complete my “unfinished business” finally opened and I tried so hard to be admitted. I was jealous of my colleagues who pursued their master’s degree in the United Kingdom but not until I was with the other amazing English teachers from Taiwan to study TESOL in Brisbane, Australia.

Two Wonderful Roommates
The honeymoon period was undoubtedly enjoyable during the first days of my stay in Brisbane. I had two wonderful roommates. We shared a quite small room but their friendliness created a warm atmosphere inside. We would go to school together, shop together and cook our own food together. Just like any kind of adventure, our beginning was never easy. We had to learn how to get economical during our stay in Brisbane. It was all shared effort and through that we managed to save up to seven dollars every day. We got on a free ferry and inter-campus shuttle after a few days of trial and error.

The Beauty of Brisbane
For many times, I missed home. However, the beauty of Brisbane has caused me some distractions as its breathtaking tourist spots around the city would entice me to move around. With the variety of gourmet food I could try at the Sunday Riverside markets and South Bank markets on Saturday night, I felt like roaming around Taiwan's night market. Other captivating sights can be seen at the Gallery of Modern Art, the State Library of Queensland, the Queensland Art Gallery, and the Queensland Museum in South Bank. Even I who was not so enthusiastic about art could not easily get my eyes away from what they had inside. By taking a trip on the City Cat ferry, that could carry commuters and visitors up and down the Brisbane River, which winds its way through the City and suburbs, my classmates and I would just add more convenience.
