On March 5, 2024, Dessa, a foreign English teacher from the Philippines, conducted a successful demonstration lesson on Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) with seventh-grade students. The session was attended by representatives from the Changhua Government and CIEETRC.
Dessa engaged students by discussing their Dream City Mini 3D projects and introducing relevant vocabulary like "infrastructure" and "public transportation." The highlight was a group activity where students designed sustainable cities, presented their ideas in English, and received positive feedback.
The demonstration showcased the benefits of having a foreign English teacher and integrating real-world topics into education. Representatives praised Dessa's teaching and expressed interest in future collaborations with the school.
"English composition" was a tool utilized by Ms. Yao Shimin, Teacher Fang, and Teacher Zhang Weiren, our senior high school English field teacher, to enhance and expand the curriculum. They filmed the process of turning books into sound stories and assisted senior high school students with writing in English. This demonstrated the ability of successful pupils to both write and create.
