Mabuhay! (Nǐ hǎo)
I am Teacher Dessa Lou Macatangay, a foreign English teacher at Changhua County, Chengkung High School. I took my Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education, Major in Biology, at Mindanao State University, General Santos City, Philippines. I had been teaching in my country for 11 years before I got the opportunity to teach here in Taiwan. I am always grateful for this wonderful journey I am on. I find it easy to navigate and live my life in Taiwan, especially at Chengkung High School, because of this amazing community.

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
As an English teacher, I believe that learning is most effective when it is student-centered, fun, and engaging. I aim to create a classroom environment where students feel motivated, confident, and actively involved in their own learning journey.
My lessons are designed to develop the four essential English language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Through a variety of interactive activities, real-world tasks, and creative projects, I encourage students to express themselves, think critically, and communicate effectively in English.
I believe that when students enjoy the learning process, they not only improve their language skills but also build a lifelong love for learning. My goal is to inspire students to become independent, enthusiastic learners who are ready to use English confidently in the global community.

Winter and Summer Camps
Winter and Summer Camps
I provided a range of courses to help students advance their language proficiency during the winter and summer camps. Students can practice their English in a friendly setting in these interesting, enjoyable, and engaging courses. Students were able to make beautiful lanterns for the Lunar New Year.
The popular "Listening and Speaking" course is one that I offered. Students in this course practice speaking and listening through a variety of exercises, including watching movies, listening to dialogues, and taking part in group discussions. By participating in role-plays and making presentations, they can also gain confidence. Students who take this course report feeling more comfortable understanding and speaking English.
