After more than a month of preparation, practice, and perseverance, 6A emerged as the winners in 113th Changhua County English Group Reading Competition and I couldn’t be prouder of their journey! Out of the 3 pieces, we choose Eating Locally and Taiwanese White Dolphin .
“Eating Locally”, which promotes sustainable food choices and environmental awareness
“The Taiwanese White Dolphin”, a touching reminder of the importance of protecting endangered species native to Taiwan
These texts weren’t just reading material — they were learning opportunities. I had the privilege of training and preparing this talented group of students—and what a journey it was! For over a month, we worked closely together to prepare for the big day. Our focus was not only on reading fluently but also on mastering pronunciation, rhythm, tone, and expression. Each practice session was filled with energy, learning, and teamwork. Seeing their transformation from hesitant readers to confident speakers was incredibly rewarding. And their hard work paid off—6A received the “Excellent Work” award!
🏅 This recognition is a reflection of their dedication, growth, and passion for learning. I’m so proud of how far they’ve come and grateful to have been part of their journey.
🎉 Congratulations again, 6A! You’ve proven that with effort, teamwork, and heart, great things are possible!
The English Conversation Club is a weekly enrichment program designed to help students develop their speaking and listening skills in a relaxed, supportive environment. Co-facilitated by Ms. Monica, the club offers interactive sessions where students engage in meaningful conversations, games, role-plays, and group activities that promote fluency and confidence in using English.
In addition, the club members embraced the challenge of presenting the school lunch menu in English through (Tasty Tidbits Time) during the first semester of School Year 2024–2025. They also took on leadership roles in major school events, most notably as energetic and confident hosts during English Day. Seeing the students step up as confident emcees and presenters truly reflected how much they’ve grown. We’re proud of their progress and excited for what’s next!
As a foreign English teacher in Taiwan, one of the best ways to connect language learning to real life is through everyday experiences—and what could be more everyday (and exciting!) than school lunch?
Last semester, I worked with my English Conversation Club students on a special project to help them learn more about the food they eat every day at school. We turned lunchtime into a language-learning adventure by making a video about Taiwanese school lunch called Tasty Tidbits Time and the students loved it!
This project reminded me that language learning can (and should!) be meaningful and fun. By connecting English to something students already experience like their daily meals, we make learning more engaging and memorable.
This past Christmas season, our youngest learners from Grades 1 and 2 brought smiles and festive cheer through a joyful Christmas caroling activity! With hearts full of excitement and voices ready to sing, they visited Grades 3 and 4, sharing the holiday spirit one song at a time.
I was so proud to see how confidently and cheerfully they performed. The older students were pleasantly surprised and clapped along and a few even joined in the singing!
Through this fun activity, students didn’t just sing—they also:
Practiced English vocabulary and sentence patterns
Learned about Christmas traditions
Built confidence in speaking in front of others
Experienced the joy of giving through song
It was a beautiful reminder that learning English can be joyful, musical, and full of meaning—especially during the holiday season.
Great job to our young carolers! Thank you for spreading smiles and music throughout the school. Let’s keep the spirit of kindness and joy all year round! 🎶🎄❤️
On April 1st, our school came alive with the sounds of English as students across all grade levels came together for a fun and meaningful English Day celebration! From singing and chanting to reading and performing, every performance was a showcase of the students’ effort, creativity, and growing confidence in using English.
I had the joy and honor of training and preparing students from Grades 1 to 6 for their performances. Starting from the last week of February, we practiced regularly—improving pronunciation, rhythm, expression, and stage presence. The results were truly rewarding!
Training the students has been an amazing journey. I saw them grow not only in language skills but also in courage, teamwork, and self-expression. It wasn’t always easy, but they stayed committed and gave their best—and I couldn’t be prouder of them.
🎉 Congratulations to all! You made English Day a celebration to remember!
